Apparently, this is German comfort food. This is one variation, adapted by my good friend Sam, http://copperbadge.livejournal.com

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the flour and whisk until absorbed and pasty taste has cooked out, about 3 minutes.
2. Add liquid, mustard, salt, sugar and vinegar and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil and cook until thick, about 3 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to a simmer and add eggs, one at a time. Poach gently until eggs are soft-set, 3-4 minutes. Serve over boiled potatoes (or, if you're Sam, over toast).
