Sauce à la Newburg, for Lobster

Compliments of Marshall Thomas

Take a quarter of a pound of melted butter, and a whiskey glass of sherry wine, two yolks of eggs, a little salt and pepper to taste, a little lemon juice and half cupful of sweet cream, mixed well with half teaspoonful of cornstarch. Stir all together well on the fire without allowing it to burn or turn.
