Fricassee Of Beef

Put one pint of water into a frying-pan, and when it comes to a boil, thicken with one heaping spoonful of flour; season with salt, pepper and a little butter. Cut cold roast beef into slices, and put into this gravy, and let them boil five minutes. If there be any cold beef gravy, add it to the other, in which case you will not need quite so much butter. Serve boiled potatoes, tomatoes, boiled rice or macaroni and squash.
