<>When par-boiled and drained, put the carrots into a saucepan with a piece of butter, a small lump of sugar and as much water as may be necessary for sauce; add some finely minced parsley and pepper and salt to the taste. Let the carrots simmer until done (about 15 minutes) shaking them occasionally.

Beat together the yolks of two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of cream; stir this into the carrots off the fire and serve.
