Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamed Peas
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil over high heat. Add 2 cups of green peas and blanch for about 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender, then drain and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes to create a light roux.
- Slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken for about 3–5 minutes.
- Add salt to taste and a pinch of white pepper, stirring well to incorporate. Simmer for another minute.
- Gently fold the blanched green peas into the creamy sauce, mixing until evenly coated. Heat through for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a warm serving dish. Serve immediately.
