Now we will show you how to cook Sheep's Trotters. 1. We take the sheep's trotters, wash them well in a basin of cold water ; then put them in a stewpan, with sufficient cold water to cover them, put the stewpan on the fire, and when it boils, take the stewpan off, strain off the water, and put the trotters in a basin of cold water. N.B.— This is to blanch them. 2. We wash the stewpan out, wash the trotters tho- roughly, and then put them back in the stewpan. 3. We take a carrot, wash it, and scrape it clean with a sharp knife. 4. We take an onion, wash it, and peel it. 5. We put one ounce of flour into a basin, and mix it smoothly with a tablespoonful of cold water.

While the trotters are cooking, we should make the sauce, either piquante sauce, or white sauce, according to taste. For piquante sauce, or white sauce, the above pro- portion of ingredients should be used, and the sauces made in the same way as directed in u Sauces, Lessons No. I and No. 4." 9. After that time we take the trotters carefully out of the stewpan, and arrange them on a hot dish, and serve them with the sauce, which can either be poured over the irottersy or served separately in a sauce-boat, according to taste. 1 62 National Training School for Cookery.
