Béarnaise Sauce. This is one of the most difficult sauces to make, on account of the danger of the eggs curdling; but by the following method the work is rendered more sure than by the usual plan. It has been said that the terrors of a cook are Béarnaise sauce and omelette soufflée, but neither is really difficult; great care only is necessary for success with each.
Add carefully one cup of boiling water, then season with one-half teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper and paprika. Many sauces are made with drawn butter as a foundation. For caper sauce add three tablespoons of capers. For egg sauce add one egg, hard-boiled and chopped fine. There are several ways of making Bearnaise sauce.
*Quick Bearnaise Sauce.* Beat the yolks of four eggs with four tablespoons of oil and four of water. Add a cup of boiling water and cook slowly until thick and smooth. Take from the fire, and add minced onion, capers, olives, pickles, and parsley and a little tarragon vinegar. Pare two large cucumbers; remove seeds, if large; chop fine and squeeze dry.
"Mon Dieu Béchamel Hollandaise chaud-froid maître d'hôtel Espagnole Béarnaise " Patsy completed the list with an ecstatic kiss blown into the air. Madame sighed and spoke in English: "It is unbelievable absurd. I shouldn't trust my own eyes or palate if I sat down to-night to the most remarkable dinner in the world; but one must feed one's guests." She looked Patsy over again. "Your trunk?"
The midday meal was excellent. There was a ripe melon, a fish from the river in a memorable Bearnaise sauce, a fat fowl in a fricassee, and a dish of asparagus, followed by some fruit. The Doctor drank half a bottle plus one glass, the wife half a bottle minus the same quantity, which was a marital privilege, of an excellent Cote-Rotie, seven years old.
As this imported banishment to her father's country-house, where her mother, a shrewd old Bearnaise, saved pence and counted lentils into the soup, and saw company once a quarter, I had perhaps reason to be content with her chastisement.
