Boiled Herrings à la Crême
Boil any quantity of herrings you require ten minutes in water, with a little salt; dish them without a napkin. Have ready the following sauce: Put six table-spoonfuls of cream in a stew-pan, with a little pepper and salt. When nearly boiling add an ounce of fresh butter and the juice of half a lemon. Stir it quickly, and pour it over the fish when sent to table.
