Steps:
- This is prepared as a thickening for soups and sauces of any kind. It is customary to make it in quantity and have it on hand whenever needed. The proportions are to combine twice as much flour as shortening and fry slowly, stirring constantly until it is light brown. Pour into a small pan and when it cools, it will settle. It is ready to use without any further preparation, and lasts indefinitely without spoiling. If making a small quantity for one recipe, use one tablespoon of shortening and two tablespoons of flour; fry slowly a few minutes and add to recipe as called for.
SLOVAK CHRISTMAS EVE MUSHROOM SOUP
This was passed down from generation to generation. I don't have a recipe for this soup, but I will try to esitmate the portions. It is a sour soup but it is delicious. People either love it or not. My neice never liked it and now she loves it, can't wait till Christmas Eve. My grandmother used to use mushrooms my grandfather and dad would pick up in the woods. I believe they called them sheephead. My grandmother would then clean them and hang them to dry. We can't find the mushrooms for sale and are afraid to go and look for them in the woods. We don't know the good from the bad.
