Ingredients

4 servings

2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
3 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 tsp granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy and just beginning to subside, about 1 minute.
2
Add the flour and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture turns pale golden and smells faintly nutty.
