Bearnaise Sauce Recipe

Take a tablespoonful of flour and three of water; make it boil and add
the yolks of three eggs; melt one-half pound of butter and beat it gently
into your first mixture, add salt, the juice of half a lemon and a pinch
of grated nutmeg. Keep the sauce very hot in a _bain-marie_ or in a
double saucepan. If you have neither, keep it in a large cup placed in a
saucepan of hot water.
