White Sauce. No. 1. (Mr. Courtenay.)
Boil ½ pint of milk and a piece of butter the size of a large walnut. Mix 2 tablespoonfuls of flour to four pennyworth of cream that is to say if it is town cream. Add the cream to the milk, stirring it to make it quite smooth. Grate a little lemon peel into it, and just before it is taken off the fire add a pinch of salt.
