4 servings
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse 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 tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 cups frozen peas, thawed
- 1 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
Can be omittedgranulated sugar
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.
