BUTTER SAUCE (_Mrs. Youmans_).
Ingredients: Three-quarters of a cupful of butter, one and a half
cupfuls of powdered sugar, four table-spoonfuls of boiling-hot starch,
made of flour or corn starch, with either brandy, maraschino, wine,
lemon-juice and zest, vanilla, or other flavoring preferred. Stir the
butter with a fork to a light cream; add the sugar, and continue to beat
it for one or two minutes. Just before serving, stir in with an
egg-whisk the boiling starch and the flavoring.
