Artichoke Bottoms for Garnish

Cut off all the top leaves and trim the under ones, put into a saucepan of slightly salted water, and boil until the skin can be easily removed. Then remove, skin, trim and turn them, and place in a saucepan with some flour, water, salt, lemon and butter, and cook until tender. Remove the pan from the fire, and let them get quite cold in the mixture, and take out when wanted.
