Nearly fill with chicken, laid in lightly; then strain on the broth till it is nearly full, and set in a cold place. Dip for an instant in hot water before turning out. It is nice as a supper or lunch dish, and very pretty in effect. The foundation for a large proportion of sauces is in what the French cook knows as a roux, and we as "drawn butter."
