Ingredients

• 1 piece butter
• 1 pint water
• 1 pint flour

1. Put a piece of butter the size of an egg into a pint of water and let it boil a few minutes.
2. Thicken it very smoothly with a pint of flour.
3. Let it remain a short time on the fire, stirring it all the time so that it may not stick to the pan.
