take the top off the pot and let the wa
ter boil low so the grease will fry in
the pot and brown a little. Watch
carefully and don't let it burn. When
slightly brown pour enough boiling
water into the pot to make gravy and
thicken with flour which has been
smoothly mixed with a little cold wa
ter. Now put the top on the pot and
set it where it will simmer for ten or
fifteen minutes. 1t is now ready to
