MACARONI AND TOMATO SAUCE A. Class Experiments. Mix half a tablespoon of cornstarch with quarter of a cup of cold water, and cook, stirring and adding measured amounts of water until you obtain the same consistency as a medium white sauce. What is the comparative thickening power of flour and cornstarch ? B. CORNSTARCH MOLD. Make a cornstarch mold, using a cup of milk, one tablespoon of sugar, a saltspoon of salt, and as much corn- starch as would give the consistency of the thick white sauce used in the last lesson. How will you combine the ingredients? Cook five minutes over the fire, stirring constantly ; then cook covered, over water, until the "raw" taste has disappeared. This will take at least fifteen minutes.1 Remove from the fire, add a few drops of vanilla and pour into a wet mold, and let stand until cold. Serve with chocolate sauce. CHOCOLATE SAUCE. Melt a quarter of a square of chocolate with a quarter of a teaspoon of butter. Add three tablespoons of water, a half cup of sugar and a few grains of salt.
