Liquid Sauce

Take two heaping tablespoons of flour and two heaping tablespoons of butter, mash together and dissolve in two teacups of hot water poured gradually over them. Add two heaping tablespoons and a half of sugar, a little grated nutmeg, and two slices of fresh lemon. Mix in a small saucepan. Set in another containing water. Let the water gradually heat until boiling. Stir constantly with a tablespoon to prevent lumping and to have it perfectly smooth. Let it be rather thick when done, and add three tablespoons of California brandy. Stand in the hot water to keep hot until ready to serve, and take out the lemon before serving.
