Frizzled Ham

Cut about one pound of fat ham into as thin slices as possible. Put a fryingpan over the fire, and let it become smoking hot, then put in the slices of ham and fry for two or three minutes; dust them with dry flour, and cook until the flour is brown. During this time mix one tablespoonful each of vinegar and dry mustard together. When brown add the mustard and vinegar, and sufficient boiling water to cover the ham. Boil gently for a moment, and serve. Eggs may be cooked with the ham in place of the flour and water.
