Creamed Codfish
Pour boiling water over a package of prepared codfish in the colander and
drain it.
Heat a frying-pan, and, while you are waiting, beat the yolk of an egg.
Squeeze the water from the fish. Put one tablespoonful of butter in a hot
pan, and when it bubbles put in two tablespoonfuls of flour, and stir and
rub till all is smooth.
Pour in slowly a pint of hot milk, and mix well, rubbing in the flour and
butter till there is not a single lump. Then stir in the fish with a little
pepper, and when it boils put in the egg. Stir it all up once, and it is
done.
Put in a hot covered dish, or on slices of buttered toast.
