Delicious Maple Sauce
2 egg-yolks. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1/2 cup whipped cream.
Beat the yolks very light, putting in a pinch of salt; put in the syrup and cook till the spoon coats over when you dip it in; then cool and beat in the whipped cream, and serve very cold.
Hard Sauce
Beat together a half-cup of powdered sugar and a half-cup of butter with a fork till both are light and creamy. Flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla and put on the ice to harden.
Foamy Sauce
1/2 cup butter. 1/2 cup boiling water. 1 cup powdered sugar. 1 teaspoonful vanilla. White of one egg.
Rub the butter and sugar to a cream; add vanilla and beat well. When it is time to serve, beat the egg stiff, stir the boiling water into the sugar and butter, and then put in the egg and beat till foamy, standing it on the stove as you do so, to keep it hot. Serve in the sauce-boat.
