Transparent Sauce

Mix one tablespoonful of corn starch with one teacupful of sugar in a saucepan, then stir in one-half pint of boiling water, and add half a lemon cut into slices and a small lump of butter. Stir the sauce over the fire, and boil until transparent. It is then ready for serving with fritters.
