BOILED ONION SAUCE.

until it is a brown colour. Stir in gradually enough boiling water to
make the sauce of the thickness of cream. Add the lemon juice, the

BROWN SAUCE (2).
2 tablespoonfuls of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 oz. of butter, 6

minutes; strain, return the sauce to the saucepan, and boil it up
before serving.
