Egg Sauce
One cupful of sugar, a tablespoonful of butter, two eggs, a little salt, and a teaspoonful of vanilla, or any flavoring preferred. Mix the butter and sugar to a cream, add the yolks of the eggs, and beat until very light. Beat the whites to a stiff froth and stir in, add flavoring and beat well together. This is especially good for apple or berry dumplings. Lemon is nice to flavor it when used for apple puddings, but should not be used for other fruits. When a plainer sauce is desired, leave out the butter.
