Peas ‘Alla Crema’
Cook one pint of shelled peas in an earthen pot of salted boiling water for a quarter of an hour, then drain. Put two ounces of fresh butter into a sauce-pan with one tablespoonful of flour, then add half a pint of milk and mix until it boils. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then put in the peas. Cook in a Bain-marie for a quarter of an hour, and serve as a garnish to any baked meat.
