table-spoon flour have been well mixed and cooked, stir all until smooth and
serve.

table-spoons sugar, tea-spoon salt, and one of white pepper; let the mixture
boil.--Mrs. Olivia S. Hinman, Battle Creek, Mich.

Take three tea-spoons ground mustard, one of flour (two if the mustard seems

a smooth, thick paste; when cold add vinegar enough to make ready for use, and
serve with salt. This resembles the French Mustard.--Mrs. Mary Herbert
