what step should occur after you have stirred a tablespoon of cornstarch into the water?

○ squeeze out the lemon juice

○ pour it over the sugar and butter

Explanation:

We analyze the steps in the recipe. After "Moisten a tablespoonful of corn starch, and stir it into the water", the next step is "when it boils, pour it over the sugar and butter". We check the options: "Add the beaten yolks..." is later, "Squeeze out..." is earlier, "Cover a plate..." is also later. So the correct option is the one about pouring over sugar and butter.

Answer:

D. Pour it over the sugar and butter
