My great-grandma’s recipe. Always a favorite at Thanksgiving dinner. Worth using fresh onions instead of frozen.
Recipe Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- salt to taste
- 2 cups peeled pearl onions
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups cold whole milk
- ¼ cup quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®), or more as needed
Cooking Directions
- 1 Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan; cook onions in the boiling water until just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup water in saucepan, and return onions to pan. Add butter to onions.
- 2 Mix milk and quick-mixing flour together in a bowl; add to onion mixture. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in more quick-mixing flour if mixture is too thin.
