Fried Salt Pork With Milk Gravy

Cut slices of Salt Pork 1/4 inch thick,
fry both sides until the Pork is crisp,
taking care that it does not burn.
Remove to a dish, and place where it will
keep hot until served.
.
Pour the greater part of the Fat from the pan,
allowing about a cooking spoonful to remain.
Stir into this, while hot, 1 1/2 Tbsp. of Flour...
mixed smoothly with 1 pt. of cold Milk,
stir rapidly until thick and smooth,
serve in a Gravy tureen.
When other meat is not on hand or accessible,
this makes the basis of a very comfortable meal.
