    CULINA Famulatiux Medicine. To melt Butter. JPUT a quarter of a pound of -butter into a plated sauce-pan, with two tea-spoonfuls of cream. Shake the pan over a clear fire till the butter be completely melted. Take care to shake it only one way, and be careful not to put the sauce-pan upon the fire. « OBSERVATION. Some persons put a few spoonfuls of water with a little flour, instead of cream ; but then the utmost care must be taken that the flour be uni- formly mixed with the butter, as nothing is so unsightly as the appearance of the flour in lumps. The first method is by far the best. The mix- ture of water takes from the balsamic sweetness of the butter. B 2
