Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Have ready a delicately-clean saucepan, into which put the stock, which should be well flavoured with vegetables, and rather savoury;
  2. mix the flour smoothly with the cream, add it to the stock, season with a little salt, and boil all these ingredients very gently for about 10 minutes, keeping them well stirred the whole time, as this sauce is very liable to burn.
