Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 12 oz. bag frozen peas (thawed and rinsed)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Rinse the frozen peas.
- Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat and add flour to create a light roux, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes.
- Add room temperature heavy cream to the roux and whisk to combine.
- Once the cream mixture has thickened to the point where it’s still loose enough to drip from a spoon, but clings to the back of one without running off, lower the heat to medium-low.
- Add sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Add the thawed and rinsed peas.
- Stir to combine and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter.
Make sure to use room temperature heavy cream for a smooth mixture.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for a touch of warmth.
