Then cook the mushrooms for fifteen minutes. Drain the water, add fresh water, and continue cooking the mushrooms for forty minutes.

In a separate skillet, fry the flour in lard until it turns slightly brown. Then add a couple of tablespoons of mushroom broth to the flour and stir thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
