Brandy Sauce for Christmas Pudding Bring to a boil half a pint of milk, mix in a large basin one tablespoonful of cornflour with a little cold milk, to a very stiff paste, pour into it the boiling milk, stirring one way all the time, add two large tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, two wineglasses of brandy and serve in a sauce boat, very hot. Note: If the cornflour is mixed very stiff and the milk is poured in while boiling, the sauce will thicken and there will be no need to return it to the saucepan to boil again.
