Turnips in Batter

Put one-fourth pound of butter into a stewpan and place it over the fire; when it has melted stir in one tablespoonful of flour and one pint of milk. Season with salt, pepper and a small quantity of sugar, and continue stirring it over the fire until it thickens; then put in one breakfast cupful of boiled turnips, continue stirring the mixture over the fire, and boil it for ten minutes. Cut two slices of bread, trim the crusts and toast them nicely. Butter the toast, cut each piece into quarters, and place them on a hot dish; pour the turnip mixture over them, and serve immediately.
