1 | ounce | Flour |
10 | fluid ounce | Cider or apple juice |
2 | tablespoons | Milk or cream |

Melt butter, add flour and cook for 2-3 minutes so that the raw flavor of the flour has time to mellow. Remove from heat and slowly add the cider, stirring all the time. Season to taste, bring to the boil, and cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat again, add the milk or cream, and reheat carefully. Serve in a hot sauce boat.
