Brussels sprouts à la crème.—Soak, trim, and well
blanch a pound of sprouts, then drain them well,
and put them in a sauté or frying pan, with about
half a gill of good velouté sauce, season with salt,
pepper, and a grate of nutmeg, pour in a gill of single
cream or new milk, and let them simmer very gently
for five minutes or so, tossing them pretty constantly
over the fire. Serve very hot.
