Creamed Peas with Pearl Onions

Slice off the root ends on the pearl onions and drop into boiling water for about a minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pinch the stem end and a peeled onion will pop out. Set them aside.

In large skillet over medium low heat melt butter. Whisk in flour and continue whisking until mixture is a light golden brown. Slowly whisk in milk and continue whisking until mixture thickens slightly, 2–3 minutes.

Add peas and pearl onions (that were set aside). Simmer for 5–7 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
