One pint white stock, two tablespoonfuls butter, four table- spoonfuls flour, six mushrooms, or the liquor from a half can, one cup cream, one and a half tablespoonfuls lemon juice. Cook the butter and flour well together with salt and pepper if the stock is not already well seasoned. Add the stock as in plain white sauce, then the mushrooms, washed, peeled and cut small ; let the sauce simmer twenty minutes with the lid half on. Skim off the butter as it rises. Strain through a fine sieve press- ing hard ; add the cream and lemon juice and let boil about three minutes. Pour out and stir often while cooling. If this is to be used to mask a chaud-froid it will need one tablespoon- ful gelatine.
