Original Recipe for Creamy White Sauce
May 1988
for our fresh asparagus (pg. 54)
* egg garnish
4 T. butter melted in heavy pan
Remove from heat + stir in
4 T. flour — making a paste
Add slowly — stirring to keep smooth
1 C. milk + dash of salt
1 C. heavy cream (unwhipped - whip cream)
Return to burner + stir til thickens + boils.
3 oz. cheese
Cut slivers of medium (orange) cheddar cheese + stir into sauce. Remove from heat + serve
when cheese is melted but not totally blended
so sauce has pretty color variation.
* Serve over asparagus and
garnish with 2 poached eggs, diced.
Eleanor's father "Pa" Sieverding would always take a little dab of butter and put it in his mouth
as he left a meal.
