Drawn-Butter Sauce

Two tablespoons of flour; one-half cup of butter; one pint of boiling water; one-half teaspoon of salt. Mix the butter and flour together until light and creamy, and then gradually add the boiling water, stirring constantly. Place the bowl in a saucepan containing boiling water, and stir well until the sauce comes to the boiling point. It should not be allowed to boil, but should be kept at the boiling point until it is thick enough, and then removed at once. Add the salt, and serve. A tablespoon of lemon juice or of chopped parsley will give the sauce an agreeable flavor.
