Cream Sauce.
2 cups rich milk—half cream, if you can get it.
4 tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Whites of 2 eggs whipped stiff.
1 teaspoonful extract of bitter almonds.
½ teaspoonful of nutmeg.
1 even tablespoonful of corn-starch wet up with cold water.
Heat the milk to scalding; add the sugar, stir in the corn-starch. When it thickens beat in the stiffened whites, then the seasoning. Take from the fire, and set in boiling water to keep warm—but not cook—until wanted.
