branches, and tie securely in a net. Put into boil-
ing milk and water, equal quantities, and cook until

diluted lemon juice.

small portions, dish, and serve with egg sauce, pre-
pared by heating a pint of rich milk or very thin
cream to boiling, and stirring into it a level table-
spoonful of Gluten Flour rubbed smooth with a
little cold milk. Let this boil a few minutes, stirring
constantly until the flour is well cooked and the
sauce thickened. Then add slowly the well-beaten
yolk of one egg, stirring rapidly, so that it shall be
well mingled with the whole. Add salt to taste,
and let it boil up once. It should be the consistency
of thick cream.
