Personal Chef Recipes - by Mrs Beeton

BECHAMEL MAIGRE, or WITHOUT MEAT.

Ingredients:2 onions
1 blade of mace
mushroom trimmings
a small bunch of parsley
1 oz. of butter
flour
1/2 pint of water
1 pint of milk
salt
the juice of 1 lemon
2 eggs.
Method:Put in a stewpan the milk, and 1/2 pint of water, with the onions, mace, mushrooms, parsley, and salt. Let these simmer gently for 20 minutes. In the mean time, rub on a plate 1 oz. of flour and butter; put it to the liquor, and stir it well till it boils up; then place it by the side of the fire, and continue stirring until it is perfectly smooth. Now strain it through a sieve into a basin, after which put it back in the stewpan, and add the lemon-juice. Beat up the yolks of the eggs with about 4 dessertspoonfuls of milk; strain this to the sauce, keep stirring it over the fire, but do not let it boil, lest it curdle.
Time: Altogether, 3/4 hour.
