1 teaspoon lemon juice

Thickened Gravy

2 tablespoons (1 oz.) drippings 4 tablespoons (1 oz.) flour or cornstarch

1 cup (1/2 pt.) water or stock

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Pour away fat from roasting pan, leaving two tablespoons, add flour or cornstarch, and mix it over fire until smooth and brown; next draw pan to side of fire and pour in water or stock, and stir over fire again until boiling. Simmer eight minutes, skim well, and add seasonings. Strain before using. This gravy is generally preferred for roast game, poultry, or rabbit.

Clear Gravy

For all simple roasts a clear unthickened gravy is the best. Pour away fat from pan and reserve it for future use. Add one half cup water and with an iron spoon rub down any glaze which adheres to side of pan. Boil five minutes, add salt and pepper to taste, and remove any grease from surface with white paper. Strain a little of gravy over joint, and pour remainder into sauce-boat. It is awkward for the carver if the dish is made too full. Serve hot.

Brown Gravy

Melt four tablespoons butter substitute in a saucepan, add one chopped onion, and fry until brown; then add two tablespoons flour and one tablespoon soy bean flour and fry until nicely browned; add salt and pepper to taste, one cupful boiling water, or stock, or water in which vegetables were boiled, stir and cook five minutes, and it is ready. Strain if desired.
