Egg Sauce for Salt Fish.
Hard-boil 4 eggs; then chop them up and put them aside. Next melt in a stewpan 1 oz. of fresh butter; add a tablespoonful of flour, and ½ pint of cream or milk; boil these together first and then add the chopped eggs, and season the sauce to your taste with pepper and salt.
When the eggs have warmed through, the sauce will be ready. Serve in a sauce-boat.
