Bread Sauce. No. 2. Humberstone. (Miss Mainwaring.)
If these directions are observed exactly, your bread sauce will be first-rate.
Pare a small onion and boil it till is quite soft. Take off the outer skin and mash the rest. Put it into a little saucepan with a teacupful of thin cream, and as many stale breadcrumbs, grated very fine, as will cover a small plate. Add a little cayenne pepper, and a piece of butter, the size of a nut.
Mix all together and let it boil, well stirred, for a few minutes.
