Mom's Traditional Creamed Onions
A holiday classic—tender onions in a creamy white sauce, often served as a side with turkey or roast beef.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces pearl onions 4 cups water
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 cups milk
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
- Peel onions, and drop into boiling water. Cook until tender. Drain, reserving liquid. Set onions aside while you make the sauce.
- Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a paste. Mix together cooking water and milk. Add milk mixture slowly to the saucepan, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add onions, and transfer to a serving dish.
