Plain Oiled Butter, or Beurre Fondu,

which is made as follows:—Put 2 oz. of fresh butter into a pan with 1 saltspoonful of salt, ½ a saltspoonful of pepper, and ½ a tablespoonful of lemon juice; stir this over the fire with a clean wooden spoon till the butter has rather more than half melted; then lift it off the fire, and continue the stirring until the butter is entirely melted, when it will have a creamy taste, quite different from the ordinary oiled butter.
