Stewed Turnips with Sugar

Procure a number of young turnips as nearly of one size as possible, put them in a saucepan with a lump of butter and fry them until they are well browned. Sprinkle some powdered sugar over them, season with a small quantity of salt, pour in one teacupful of stock more or less according to the quantity of the turnips, place the cover on the saucepan, and let them simmer gently until they are tender. When cooked turn the turnips onto a hot dish, and serve.
