CREAMED DRIED BEEF ON TOAST Buy 1/4 pound of dried beef. Tear into small shreds. Put 2 tablespoonsful of meat drippings into a frying pan. (Vegetable oil or lard may be used if preferred. Butter is very delicious but makes the cost higher.) Drop the shredded meat into the fat and toss well. Put over a vslow fire and cook till meat begins to brown a very little. Measure 3 tablespoonsful of flour, 1 saltspoonful of pepper onto a plate. Slide the flour and pepper over the browning meat and toss till flour too, begins to get a little browned. Very slowly, stirring all the while, pour over the cooking meat 1 pint (2 cupsful) of milk. Stir till smooth and creamy. Have ready small pieces of toast
