Make a smooth sauce with half a pint of this liquor, the b.u.t.ter, and the flour; if the colour is not good add a few drops of cochineal. Fold the fillets of fish neatly, and bake in the oven with a little lemon juice, and covered with a b.u.t.tered paper. Arrange them on a dish and pour the sauce over. Serve hot.
