3 tablespoons rich cream
2 squares bitter chocolate Vanilla

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup milk
Vanilla
Cook the sugar and water together in a saucepan until they are a golden brown. Heat the butter and cornstarch together in another pan and then combine the two adding scalded milk and last the vanilla. Stir constantly and make smooth and creamy. A less rich sauce may be made with one cup hot water instead of milk. Serve on bread pudding, Brown Betty, etc. Lemon juice may be used instead of vanilla, but then use only hot water and no milk.
