Drawn Butter, or Melted Butter

Miss Beaty.

Rub in two teaspoonsful of flour into a quarter of a pound of butter; add five tablespoonsful of cold water; set it into boiling water and let it melt, and heat until it begins to simmer, and it is done. Never simmer it on coals, as it fries the oil and spoils it. Be careful not to have the flour in lumps. If it is to be used with fish, put in chopped eggs and nasturtium, or capers. If used with boiled fowl, put in oysters while it is simmering, and let them heat through.
