WASH the roots very well, and boil them till they are tender;
then skin the skin of the roots must be taken off, cut in slices, and have
ready a little cream, a piece of butter rolled in flour, the yolk of an
egg beat, a little nutmeg grated, two or three spoonfuls of white
wine, a very little salt, and stir all together. Your roots being in
the dish, pour the sauce over them. It is a pretty side-dish. So
likewise you may dress roots of Salsify and Scorzonera.
