Lemon Sauce, No. 2 Six tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, two table- spoonfuls of butter and one tablespoonful of lemon juice, beaten until smooth. Fruit Salad Dressing To two well beaten eggs, add three tablespoonfuls of melted butter, juice of one lemon and one-half tea- spoonful of salt. Cook until thick in a double boiler, stirring constantly. Cool, then add one cupful of whipped cream, two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, one-half teaspoonful each of celery, salt and vanilla, and a little paprika. Serve cold. 320 THE NEW ANNIE DENNIS COOK BOOK Sauce for Plum Pudding Take half pound of butter, wash the salt from it, and cream very light ; stir in three quarters of a pound of sugar and the beaten yolk of an egg ; simmer over a slow fire or on the back of a stove for a few minutes, and when at boiling heat, add a half pint of good cooking wine. Serve in a sauce boat, and sprinkle nut- meg over the surface. If you would serve your pudding in true old England style, have ready a gill of pure alcohol, and the pudding being turned out in a large and handsome platter, just as the servant enters the dining room, let another per- son outside the door be furnished with a lighted match. Having poured the alcohol over the pudding ignite it with the match, and a beautiful leaping flame will gladden the eyes of the beholders, awing the children present, and usher in a feast fit for King Arthur him- self. Cream Sauce 'Stir lightly into a pint of whipped cream the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs, two tablespoonfuls of fine sugar and a teaspoonful of lemon or vanilla. Drop this sauce upon a cold platter and arrange the little puddings about it. Vanilla Cream Sauce Two beaten eggs, four tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar, two cupfuls of sweet milk (or one each of milk or water) , butter, size of a hickory nut ; stir over the fire in a double boiler, until as thick as very rich cream.

Have the cream previously set on the ice to get chilled ; whip the cream then, and return to a cool place.
