Chop a cold carrot or two, one small onion, grated, and some raw potatoes, enough of all together to fill a large cup. Put one small cup of flour into a pan with one-half cup of olive oil. Mix well, place over the fire and stir until well browned. Add two small cups of water and stir until smooth and cooked. Remove from the fire, add salt and pepper to taste, and the cup of chopped vegetables. Put two-thirds of it into an unbuttered baking dish and spread the mixture around the bottom and half way up the sides to form a thick crust. Have ready an ordinary dressing such as you would use for turkey. Pour this into baking dish and cover by spreading the other third of the mixture over top. Bake about forty-five minutes. Mrs. A. K. Philleo.
