2 tablespoonfuls of butter. Few grains of salt. 1/2 cup of boiling water. 1 egg. 1/2 cup of flour. (Makes 1 cup of panada.)
Melt the butter in the boiling water; when again boiling stir in the sifted flour and continue stirring until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan; let cook a few moments, keeping it in motion to avoid burning; remove from the fire and beat into it one raw egg; cover and cool before using.
