December 12th : WHITE OYSTER SAUCE

Rub two table-spoonfuls of flour into a piece of butter the size of an egg, melt these gently in a stew pan, and add three quarters of a pint of stock to thicken, with half a spoonful of salt, the juice of half a lemon, and a gill of cream. The oysters should be bearded and stewed in their own liquor separately; when the sauce is as thick as melted butter, add the fish, and stir them well together. This is applicable for boiled Turkey, fowl, or cod -fish.
