Cook the macaroni ten minutes in boiling water. Drain this off, and add
a cupful of milk, with a little salt. Stew until tender. In another
saucepan heat a cup of milk to boiling, thicken with a teaspoonful of
flour, stir in a tablespoonful of butter, and lastly, a beaten egg.
When this thickens, pour over the macaroni after it is dished.
This is a simple and good dessert, eaten with butter, sugar, and
nutmeg, or sweet sauce. If set on with meat, grate cheese thickly over
it, or send around a saucer of grated cheese with it.
