tablespoonful flour in a small saucepan with a little cold water
until all lumps are dissolved, add 1 cup boiling water and stir and
boil for a few minutes; add 1 tablespoonful butter and continue
boiling for a few minutes longer; then transfer it to a bowl and set
aside; when nearly cold add 1/2 cup syrup, a pinch of salt, 2
tablespoonfuls vinegar and 1 tablespoonful sugar; set this sauce on
ice or in a cool place for 5 minutes before serving; put the

warm into thin slices; also cut 1 medium sized onion into thin
slices; put the beets and onion in alternate layers into a dish and
sprinkle between 1 teaspoonful salt, 1/4 teaspoonful pepper and 2
teaspoonfuls sugar; pour over an equal quantity of vinegar and water
(enough to nearly cover the beets) and let them stand 1 hour before
serving. Omit the onion if its flavor is not liked.
