Heat the clarified butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and make a roux. Deglaze with 500 ml of water, stirring constantly with a whisk, and stir until smooth. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, allspice, and pepper; mix well and simmer gently over medium heat. Continue stirring occasionally. Thin with the remaining water, if desired. After 15 minutes, season with salt, sugar, and cinnamon and bring back to a boil. We serve the sauce with boiled beef, or with meatballs and Bohemian dumplings, but also with pasta. Those who prefer vegetarian food can skip the meat and only have it with side dishes. The sauce also tastes delicious with vegetable Maultaschen (ravioli) or ravioli. It also tastes wonderful.
