Brown Sauce
1 tablespoon butter or fat 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup stock Salt and pepper Brown the flour in the butter, stirring it until smooth; then add the seasoning and the stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. If the sauce is to be served with a roast, use a little of the fat in which the meat was roasted instead of the butter and make the sauce in the roasting pan. For those who like the flavor of onion it is a good plan to roast an onion with the meat, adding it to the sauce.
Onion juice, Worcestershire sauce, tomato catsup or mushroom catsup may be added as flavoring if desired.
