Kid Ethnic: Mixed-Race Adventures in Japan: Indian Breakfast Recipe: Rub

Indian Breakfast Recipe: Rub · 11 August 08

Hey Fairly Indian Kid! How’d you get that smile?

What’s that? A wholesome whole-wheat breakfast of buttery goodness? Home-made hot-cereal treat of Bollywood stars? [1] Sort of like oatmeal but way better/buttery-er?

Got a recipe? Great, here we go:

—RUB—
There are two major steps to the rubbing process. Preparation of the base (butter, wheat, and almonds) and the final prep of the rub. If you don’t have almonds, no worries, just make it without.

Pre-Prepared Base
1 stick butter
3 cups whole wheat flower
crushed almonds as desired (abt 40)

Cook butter and wheat in sauce pan or skillet over medium heat while constantly folding the mixture over until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan (abt 10 minutes). Remove mixture from heat and let cool to just above room temp. After cooling, add crushed almonds to finish it off. The finished base should look like a ground powder and can be stored in the fridge or freezer until whenever.

Rub
1/2 cup base
1 cup milk
-sugar as desired

Cook base and milk in pot at medium heat until mixture begins to thicken. Add sugar as desired.
