"This recipe was from a 1951 newspaper. It was a recipe from the dining car service of the Canadian railways. It has browned flour in it like Cajun roux so if you know how to make gumbo, you can make this. It has an interesting history and how to at end of recipe. They use this recipe with noodles or potatoes. I made this recipe with hamburger; it was awesome served with white rice"

NOTES FOR THE COOK:. You may make beef stock or use boullion cubes and water.
Step 8
Browned flour is something our Mothers and Grandmothers made. It is very simple to make by just stirring several tablespoons of flour back and forth in a dry medium hot skillet. This type of flour will not thicken as quickly as plain flour because the heat breaks down the starch cells. It takes 3 tablespoons of browned flour to do the work of 1-1/2 tablespoons of plain flour. 'Flour may be browned in a hot oven' is what recipe says; I don't know about that; I think it could burn pretty easy.
