this one. The recipe dates from Colonial days when crushed wheat was used

to thicken the mixture.

Lei's Notes: This book had a mis-print in this recipe, as no quantity of

maple syrup was listed...in fact the whole ingredient was missing. I'm

guessing here on the 1 cup of maple syrup based on the Creamy Maple Syrup

Pie, which contains 1 cup.
