  4. Cream

  6. a pint of milk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Take a pint of milk, and boil in it an onion stuck with two cloves, a small shalot, and some peppercorns, and bring to the boil, and then let stand for an hour on the stove.
  2. Then take the onion, shalot, and peppercorns from the sauce.
  3. Have ready two ounces of freshly grated bread-crumbs, and put them into the milk with half an ounce of butter.
  4. Add salt to taste.
  5. Boil up the sauce for ten minutes, and it will be ready to serve.
  6. A good table-spoonful of cream added to it is, of course, an improvement.
