GNOCCHI À LA FRANÇAISE

Add to a quart of boiling milk four tablespoonfuls of farina and half a teaspoonful of salt. Cook it about thirty minutes, or until soft. Turn it on to a dish, making a layer about half an inch thick. When it is cold and hardened cut it into sharp, triangular pieces. Arrange the pieces on a flat, round dish in a double circle as in illustration. Add to two tablespoonfuls of the hot boiled farina, one tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, and a dash of paprika or red pepper. Pile this mixture in the center of the dish, filling the vacant space in the middle of the pieces of farina, and sprinkle it with grated cheese, not letting any cheese get on the farina. Place the dish in the oven to brown and serve at once.

This dish is made to resemble a sunflower.
