Fish a La Creme

Boil a firm fish, remove the bones, pick it to pieces. Mix one pint cream or milk with two tablespoonfuls flour, one onion, one-half pound butter (or less), and salt.

Set it on the fire and stir until it is as thick as custard. Fill a baking dish alternately with fish, cracker, and cream. Bake for thirty minutes, use four crackers.--Mrs. W. C. R.
