Take ¾ tablespoonful of flour, put it into the pan, stir it well and let it boil 3 minutes, then pour in the 1 cup of water, boil a few minutes, strain and serve.
Remarks: Be careful that the butter does not turn too dark during the roasting. Should this be the case add a little water, so that the gravy may not taste bitter.

How to Utilize Roast Beef.
Roast Beef With Rice Covering.
Quantity for 4–6 Persons.
- 1¼ lbs. left over roast beef
- ½ cup of rice
- 2 tbsps. of grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese
- ½ tbsp. of flour
- ¼ tsp. chopped onions
- 2 tbsps. of butter
- 2 tbsps. of grated rolls
- ½ cup of left over gravy
- ½ qt. of bouillon or water

Preparation: The roast meat is chopped, but not too fine, and stewed in a pan with the butter and onions. The gravy is mixed with flour, salt and pepper and poured on the meat which is left to cook a few minutes until the gravy gets thick.
The rice is cooked until soft and thick in the water or bouillon, the grated cheese is put in and at last the yolks of 2 eggs. Taste the rice for salt. Butter a pudding mold and strew in some grated rolls, now put in one layer of rice and one layer of meat and so on until all the meat and rice are in. Close the mold well and set in a steamer over a kettle of boiling water and steam for 2 hours.
After the pudding is done, turn it out and pour over it a Dutch gravy or serve the gravy separately with it.
