Wine Sauce

A historic recipe, as printed in The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer (1910). Quantities and methods are as written then.

Ovens had no dials: a slow oven is about 300–325°F, moderate 350–375°F, hot 400–450°F. A yeast cake is about 2¼ teaspoons of dry yeast, a square of chocolate is 1 ounce, and bread flour or pastry flour can be replaced with all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

½ cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons Sherry or Madeira wine
Slight grating nutmeg

Steps

Cream the butter, add sugar gradually, and wine slowly; pile on glass dish, and sprinkle with grated nutmeg.
