Walnut Sauce

Mix one tablespoonful of flour in one pint of cold water, and stir it over the fire until boiling; put in a lump of butter, stir until the butter has dissolved, then squeeze in a small quantity of lemon juice. Chop some pickled walnuts, put them into the sauce, allow them to simmer all together for a few minutes, then serve.
