Sauce for Plum Pudding

Put one large tablespoonful of butter into a stewpan, when it has melted stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour, and mix well; then pour in gradually one and one-half breakfast cupfuls of hot water, and stir over the fire until cooked; then add one-half pound of brown sugar, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, and a small quantity of grated nutmeg. When the sugar has dissolved, serve the sauce.
