Cocoa Sauce
2 tablespoonfuls of butter,
1 cup of boiling water,
2 tablespoonfuls of flour,
4 tablespoonfuls of sugar,
4 teaspoonfuls of Baker’s Cocoa,
1 teaspoonful of vanilla.
Melt the butter in the saucepan; mix the flour and cocoa together and stir into the butter; add gradually the hot water, stirring and beating each time; cook until it thickens. Just before serving, add the sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt, if necessary.
Use more cocoa if liked stronger. This sauce will be found excellent for cottage puddings, Dutch apple cakes, steamed apple puddings, etc.
