Lobster Sauce.
- Ingredients—1 small lobster.
- Some spawn.
- 1½ oz. of butter.
- 1 oz. of flour.
- ½ pint of milk.
- ½ gill of cream.
- A few drops of lemon juice.
- Pepper and salt.
Method.—Remove the flesh from the body and claws of the lobster, and cut it in small pieces.
Then boil the shell, broken small, in the milk.
Rub the spawn with ¼ oz. butter through a hair sieve.
Melt the remaining butter in a small stewpan.
Mix in the flour smoothly, and then add the milk, strained.
Stir until it thickens.
Put in the spawn and butter, and continue stirring until the flour is well cooked.
Then add the cream—let it boil in the sauce—and lastly, the lemon juice, pepper and salt, and lobster.
