Creamed Frizzled Beef

1/2 pound sliced dried beef 1 tablespoon butter 3 tablespoons flour Buttered toast 1/2 cup cold water 11/2 cup milk 1 egg Pick the meat over carefully, removing all gristle and breaking it into small bits. If very salty bring to a boil in a little water and drain. Melt the butter in a frying pan; throw in the beef and stir it with a fork until it is cooked, but not browned. Remove the pan from the hottest part of the stove; sift the flour over the meat, stirring all the time; add the cold water and continue stirring until all the water has been absorbed. Then draw the pan to the hot part of the stove and add the milk. Bring all to a boil; add the beaten egg and serve at once on small slices of buttered toast. The egg may be omitted if preferred.
