Let all simmer together until the meat is in rags. Skim often. Pass all through a sieve, and clarify with the white of an egg, well beatenSauce Demi-Glace. Strain again, and place over the fire until the sauce is sufficiently thick. Serve with the cutlets.

Cut the veal into neat pieces of equal size, dip them in beaten egg and bread-crumbs, and strew over them a little salt and pepper; dip again in egg, and again roll in crumbs.

Veal Escalops with Cream Sauce. — Cut 3 lbs. of cutlet veal into twelve even oblong or oval slices, not too thick, flattening them into shape with a kitchen knife dipped in cold water. Season each piece on both sides with half a salt-spoonful of pepper and a whole one of salt. In a saucepan melt two table-spoonfuls of butter, and put in the slices, taking care that they do not touch each other. Cook over a moderate fire four minutes on each side. When done they should not be brown. Remove and dress on a hot platter, crown-shape. For the cream sauce, put in a small saucepan one table-spoonful of butter and one of flour. Cook four minutes, stirring well with a wooden spoon, but do not let it brown. Pour slowly over while stirring half a pint of hot broth and half a pint of good cream. Cook slowly ten minutes. Mix well in a bowl the yolks of two eggs, two table- spoonfuls of raw cream, one table- spoonful of butter; remove the gravy from the fire and add this thickening, stirring constantly. Pour the sauce, which should be thick and rich, over the hot escalops. This is a savory dish prepared in a chafing-dish for an evening supper. Any roasted white meat left over from the previous day may be used instead of the veal. Cut the meat in thin slices and put them in the gravy before adding the thick- ening.Veal Fricassee
