Drawn Butter Sauce

1/3 cup butter. 3 tablespoons flour. 1/4 cups boiling water. 1½ teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup sugar. 1/4 cup brandy. 1 teaspoon nutmeg.

PROCESS: Divide the butter into two equal parts. Melt one part in a sauce-pan; add flour, and stir to a smooth paste; add boiling water slowly, stirring constantly; let come to boiling point. Remove to side of range, and add remaining butter in small bits; continue beating. Then add salt, sugar, brandy and nutmeg. Beat again, and serve very hot.
