Melted Butter.—Put one ounce of butter in a stewpan, when it is melted put in half an ounce of flour, stir it quite smooth over the fire, and pour in by degrees half a pint of water. Stir till it thickens, then move it to the side of the fire. This recipe will never fail to produce good melted butter free from lumps. If you cannot afford so much butter use less; but never put more flour than butter. Melted butter too often resembles paste.
