Stir to a cream a tea cup of butter, with two of brown sugar, then add a
wine glass of wine, or cider--flavor it with nutmeg, rose-water, or
essence of lemon. If you wish to have it liquid, heat two-thirds of a
pint of water boiling hot, mix two or three tea spoonsful of flour with
a little water, and stir it into the boiling water. As soon as its boils
up well, stir it into the butter and sugar.
