Toast one or two thin slices of bread with the crust cut off; if there
are two slices, have them of equal size. When still hot, spread evenly
over them a very little fresh butter, and sprinkle over some salt. Now
pour over a small tea-cupful of boiling milk, thickened with half a
tea-spoonful of flour, and salted to taste. If the invalid can not take
milk, the toast may be moistened with boiling water. Serve immediately.
It is a very appetizing dish, when fresh made and hot.
