Old family recipe


Recipe Introduction


This was a family recipe often prepared by a career U.S. Navy chef for such dignitaries as President Harry S. Truman. Through the chef�s military career, he refused to share his recipe. Finally, when he retired, he allowed it to be published in a Navy newspaper.

3 Tablespoons Flour
