Steps

  1. Beat the flour and butter together. Pour the hot stock on the mixture. Add the seasonings, and place on the fire. Stir the sauce until it begins to boil; then move the saucepan back to a place where the contents will just bubble at the side for fifteen minutes. Add the cream; and when the sauce boils up, strain and serve.
