Cream of Green Peas Recipe ingredients

• 1 quart green peas
• 1 small onion
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 pint rich milk
• 1 tablespoon rice flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper

To prepare this Cream of Green Peas Recipe, first cut the onion in half and cook with the peas in enough boiling water to cover. When the peas are cooked soft, take out the onion and strain through a coarse sieve. Return the pulp to the saucepan, add the sugar and milk; when hot add the rice flour stirred up with a little cold milk; then add the butter, cook until it thickens; add the pepper and more salt if necessary. A cup of whipped cream to the well-beaten white of an egg, added just before serving, makes it more delicate. It must not cook or stand after the addition of the cream and the egg.
