MELTED BUTTER.

Have half a pint of water boiling hot; roll a lump of butter the size of an egg into three teaspoonsful of flour; when you have the butter perfectly smooth remove the water from the fire, and stir your butter in till every particle is dissolved. If this is carefully done, the sauce will be perfectly smooth; then boil ten minutes.
