CARAMELED CARROTS
MISS ROSAMOND HILL SMITH
1-2 large carots
Sugar
1 tbs butter

Cut one or two large carrots into very thin pieces, about two inches long. Put them into a saucepan, sprinkle well with sugar, and add one good tablespoon of butter. Pour on water enough to cover them and let them simmer until all but one tablespoon of the water has boiled away. Then sift a little flour over them and stir until it is all absorbed.
