BROWN SAUCE FOR VEGETABLES AND ROASTS

Put the water, butter, and onion in a saucepan and set on the stove; when it begins to boil, add the protose and let simmer ten or fifteen minutes, then place where it will boil, and thicken with the browned and white flour rubbed smooth in the tomato; the thickening should be thin enough to pour readily. Let cook a few minutes and add salt and celery salt, and serve with vegetables or roasts.
