Drippings

IN some kitchens the word
"drippings" is never heard, in
4 others it is more often repeated
than any other cooking term. To
begin with, OF course drippings
consisted OF the fat that dripped
from meat as il roasted. This fat
was saved, and especially valued,
as II was savory from the cooking
meat.
English cooks especially value
their meat drippings and seldom
buy lean meat as an economy be-
cause in doing so they fail TO get
drippings which are so much 10 be
preferred by many English cooks
to lard or other greases for frying
and even cake making.
According TO one English
authority: Children and delicate
people should be given ell tho
dripplngs they can eat, and II a
certain amount Of the meat jelly
that is found at the bottom OF the
dripping basin can also be taken,
so much the better, for this IS the
pure essence of the meat and is

is whether American children and
invalids would consent TO eat
bread and toast spread with drip
pings instead OF butter.
II you wish to use the drippings
from roasted meat--beef or pork
for pastries. pies or cakes, they
should be clarified. To do this
have a bowl containing a little
cold water at hand when the meat

Pour on the fat into this water
and set 1t sside to cool. A cake
Of fat will have formed on the TOP
OF the cold water. II you lift II
you will find a dark stratum at the
bottom containing small particles
of Drowned meat and meat jelly
but this can be scraped away

Is sufficient clarifying for ordinary
purposes.
However. II you want to take
special precautions. cut the colo
fat into pieces, put it into a jal
