WHITE SAUCE.
Take one ounce of flour, one ounce of butter, and melt it over the fire, then add a tea-cupful of strong white stock made in the way given for making white stock, one tea-cupful of milk, and a glass of cream. To this sauce may be added a squeeze of lemon, chopped parsley, mushrooms, or truffles.
VEGETABLE SAUCE.
Take some young carrots, and turnips, and onions, cut in thin stripes an inch long; one slice of bacon, cut in thin stripes the same as the vegetables, and the white of an egg boiled hard. Have the bacon and vegetables cooked in water, strain and add to a pint of brown sauce. This sauce will do for mutton cutlets.
SAUCE PIQUANTE.
Put two tea-spoonfuls of chopped onions, with one of common vinegar, and one glass of stock; let the onion boil a few minutes; add a cupful of brown sauce (this sauce must be as thick as cream); one tea-spoonful of French mustard, a few chopped gherkins and mushrooms.
