Wine Sauce.
3 tablespoonfuls of butter.
2 cupfuls of powdered sugar.
½ cup of wine.
Grated peel of half a lemon.
½ cupful of boiling water.
1 teaspoonful of corn-starch.
Nutmeg.
Cream the butter and sugar, adding the boiling water, a little at a time, until you have used the half cupful. Put on in a saucepan, and stir in the corn-starch wet up with cold milk. When it has thickened, put in the lemon-peel and nutmeg. Simmer one minute, add the wine, put on the lid of the saucepan and set in hot water to keep warm until wanted.
