Irish Stew. Time—2 hours.

1½ lb. breast or scrag of mutton, 2 lbs. of potatoes, 1 pint water, 3 onions, 1 tablespoonful flour, 1 teaspoonful salt, ½ teaspoonful pepper.

Cut the meat into neat pieces, removing some of the fat, peel and slice the potatoes and onions. Mix the flour, pepper and salt on a plate, and dip each piece of meat into this mixture. Put a layer of potatoes at the bottom of the saucepan, then one of meat, then one of onion, covering with a layer of potatoes. Pour the water over the whole and stew slowly, or bake in the oven 1½ hour, stirring occasionally.
