Creamed Peas

This recipe brings back memories of Sunday dinners.  Creamed Peas are an old-fashioned side dish perfect to serve with roast or salmon cakes.

Creamed Peas

1 (10 oz.) package frozen sweet peas

1 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. sugar

1/2 cup whole milk

Cook peas according to package directions and drain if necessary.  (Peas that steam in a bag will not have to be drained.)  Set aside.  In a 2 qt. saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.   Put the flour, salt, pepper, sugar, and milk into a small container that seals well and shake until blended. Add to the melted butter stirring while doing so. Cook and stir until mixture starts to thicken then stir in cooked peas heating through. If necessary, thin with a little additional milk. Serve immediately.
