Now this is interesting! I have a cookbook of recipes from schoolkid's parents in the Fredericksburg Texas. It contains recipes from 1916 to 1996. Fredericksburg had a very heavy German population back in the very early days, and even now keeps a lot of its German traditions.
One that's always intrigued me was a recipe for Milchsuppe from a Mrs. Striegler in 1916. After watching this video I went back to the cookbook and looked over the recipe and sure enough it's roughly the same thing! Mrs. Henke has another version from 1916 as well that includes rice and replaces cinnamon with nutmeg to make a kind of kheer-ish rice pudding.
