Onion Sauce. — Take four good-sized onions, peel them, cut them into quarters, put them into a saucepan with plenty of cold water to cover them, and let them boil gently till quite tender. Take them up, drain them well, and chop them small. Boil three-quarters of a pint of milk with a thin slice of lemon-rind. Mix a dessert¬ spoonful of flour to a smooth paste with water, add this to the milk, and stir the sauce till it boils. Put in the onions, take out the lemonrind, add pepper and salt to taste, and move the saucepan to the side of the fire to keep the sauce hot till it is wanted. If the lemon flavour is objected to, the rind can be omitted, but many people regard it as an improvement.
