Bread Sauce
Boil a large onion, cut in four, with some black peppers, and milk, until the former be quite a pap. Pour the milk strained on grated white stale bread, and cover it. In an hour put it into a saucepan, with a good piece of butter, mixed with a little flour: boil the whole up together, and serve.
Some people like the bread pulped through a colander before the butter be added. A large spoonful of cream improves it.
