Take one large yellow turnip, peel, wash and wipe dry, cut in oblong
pieces. Brown a good lump of butter in a spider, simmer the turnip
slices in this until nicely browned, taking care not to burn them. Put
all into a saucepan with only water enough to cook them tender, cover
tightly, when done, brown a little butter and flour together to make the
gravy the proper consistency, season with pepper and salt and serve.
