Bread Sauce

Steven L.'s Note:

Here's a family favorite that's been lost in modern cooking. Try it on chicken or roast beef. You will not be disappointed, I promise!

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6-8

Yield: 2.0 cups

• 6 whole cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cups milk
• 1 pinch mace
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons cream
• salt
• white pepper
• 1 pinch red pepper (cayenne)
• 1 cup fresh white bread, crumbs no crusts

Directions:

1. Stick cloves on onion. Place milk and mace in a heavy-based pan.
2. Add onion and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or so to flavor the milk throughly. Remove the onion and any cloves that may have come out.
3. Add butter, cream, seasonings and bread crumbs; beating constantly over low heat until the sauce thickens.
4. Serve hot over roast beef of chicken.
