Flour Paste

Ingredients

• 1 pound sifted flour
• ½ pound laundry soap
• 1 pound cake tallow or brown grease
• 1 quart glove grain or imitation calf dressing
• 2 gallons soft water

Directions

1. Moisten the flour just enough to make a thick batter and knead until smooth.

2. Add the remaining water to achieve a milk-like consistency.

3. Slice the soap and tallow thinly and add to the flour mixture.

4. Cook in a small steam jacket kettle for 30 minutes until the paste is thick like jelly.

5. Pour into shallow pans to cool.
