Fresh Garden Creamed Peas
My mom always had a large garden, and one of the first produce we'd enjoy from the garden was fresh creamed peas. I always liked this served with New Fried Potatoes and Goulash. Enjoy!

Instructions
Gather all your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Cook the Peas
In a medium saucepan, cover fresh garden peas with water. Bring to a boil on high heat, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until peas are tender.
Using a colander, drain the water from the peas. Return peas to the saucepan.
Cream the Peas
Add 2 cups of whole milk to the peas. Heat on low, being sure not to scald the milk.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining whole milk and all-purpose flour until smooth. This will serve as the thickening agent.
Add thickener to the milk and stir until thickened over low heat. When the cream reaches the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from heat.
Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with dollops of butter. Serves 4.
