Pare, core, and slice 6 apples, put them in a pan with ½-oz. butter, 1-oz. moist sugar, ¼ teaspoonful grated nutmeg, and 1 teacupful of cold water. Boil till the apples are reduced to a pulp, beat with fork and serve.
2. Bread Sauce.
(A Quick Way of making it.)
Put about ½-pint milk into a pan, with some stale bread broken in, let it boil and then beat with a fork. If not stiff enough, add more bread. Season with pepper and salt, and serve.
3. Melted Butter.
2 tablespoonsful flour.
Butter size of walnut.
1 pint water.
Put the flour in a basin, and mix with a little cold water, then pour boiling water on, stirring well all the time. Put all in a pan, and boil till thick enough. If it is lumpy, strain and put in a sauce-boat, with the butter in the middle.
4. Egg Sauce.
Make same as for Melted Butter, adding 1 or 2 hard-boiled eggs finely chopped. If Parsley Sauce is required add parsley instead of eggs.
