Onions a la Creme Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Onions a la Creme Recipe, first peel four medium-sized Spanish onions, and boil them in water slightly salted until they are sufficiently cooked. Drain them on a sieve, and put them into a stewpan with 3 ounces of butter rubbed smoothly with a tablespoonful of flour, and a little salt and white pepper. Shake the pan constantly, and stir in by degrees 1/2 pint of cream or new milk. Serve the onions on toasted bread, with the sauce poured over. Sufficient for four or five persons. One hour to boil the onions, quarter of an hour to stew them.
