HARD SAUCE
- ¼ cup butter,
- ½ cup powdered sugar,
- ½ teaspoonful lemon or vanilla, or a little nutmeg.
Rub the butter to a cream in a warm bowl; add the sugar gradually, then the flavoring. Back it smoothly in a small dish, and stamp it with a butter mould or the bottom of a figured glass. Keep it on ice till very hard; or pile it lightly on a small fancy dish and you may call it snowdrift sauce.
