What each ingredient does
- Graham flour
- Its starch thickens the boiling water into a thick, porridge-like mush as it cooks.
The step that matters
Stirring constantly while boiling. Flour dropped into hot water clumps and sinks, and the bottom can scorch. Constant stirring keeps the flour dispersed so it cooks evenly and the starch thickens smoothly.
