2 (1/4") thick slices uncooked country ham
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 c. strong black coffee
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. paprika

Cut gashes in fat to keep ham from curdling. (Cut off tough edge but leave fat.) Saute ham in oil in a heavy skillet over low heat 3-4 minutes on each side. (I brown it a little.) Remove ham and keep skillet warm.

Combine coffee and flour. Add to pan drippings, stirring until thickened. Add paprika. Serve with ham. Makes 2 servings.
