Sauce for Macaroni Pie.
1½ ozs. of butter half melted in a pan. Add half an onion, 1 clove, a bit of mace, half a bay-leaf, a bit of thyme, ½ oz. of ham, all to fry together.
Fry till browned; then add 1½ tablespoonfuls of flour to cook with 1½ pts. of stock. Simmer ½ hour, then strain. Add some cream when you take the pan off the fire.
The sauce must be rich.
Serve the Macaroni pie (see Meat Puddings and Pies) very hot.
