BREADED MUTTON CHOPS

Wipe and trim chops, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dredge with flour.
Dip in egg diluted with cold water or milk (allowing two tablespoons to
each egg), then in fine bread crumbs, repeat if not well coated with
crumbs. Fry in deep hot Cottolene about ten minutes. Drain on brown
paper and serve in a border of hot Mashed Potatoes with Green Pepper, or
in a nest of Green Peas dressed with Maitre d'Hotel Butter.

SAUCE SIGNORA

Cook two tablespoons of chopped, lean, raw ham in one-fourth cup butter
until lightly browned, add one-fourth cup flour, one-half teaspoon salt,
and stir until well blended, then add one and one-half cups of Brown
Stock and one cup of Chili Sauce. Heat to boiling point, stirring
constantly. Reduce heat and simmer ten minutes. This sauce may be
strained or served without straining. Care must be taken that ham is not
overcooked.
