No. 34 Ragout of Cold Veal
The neck, loin, or fillet of veal can be used. Cut the veal in cutlets. Put in frying-pan a piece of butter; when hot, flour and fry the veal a light brown. Take it out, and put 1 pint of boiling water in the pan; give it a boil up for a minute and strain it into a basin, while you make a thickening as follows: Melt an ounce of butter in a pan and mix with it as much flour as will dry it up; stir it over the fire a few minutes and gradually add to it the gravy you made in the frying-pan; let them simmer together for ten minutes. Season with pepper, salt, a little mace, 1 wine-glass of mushroom catsup or wine till the meat is thoroughly warmed. Ready-boiled bacon, sliced, may be put in to warm with the veal.
