Crab Canapes

Put the contents of a can of crab meat into a saucepan, add one tablespoonful of sherry and let simmer until the liquid disappears. Fry one small finely minced onion in a tablespoonful of butter until brown, add a cupful of milk that has blended with a tablespoonful of flour, let it come to a boil, then add the crab meat and let simmer for ten minutes; remove from the fire and when cool spread on rounds of toast and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese; place in a hot oven until a golden brown. Serve hot.
