CREAMED PEAS

YOU WILL NEED:

Saucepan
Can opener
Lg. spoon
Measuring spoons



1 can (15 oz.) peas
2 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. sugar (optional)
1/2 cup milk or half & half (optional)



1.  Pour peas into saucepan, sprinkle with flour and stir well.  Add spices, milk and
      butter.  Heat until the sauce becomes thick.  Stir constantly or the flour
     will settle to the bottom and burn.


SERVES:  1 - 4

SERVING HINTS:  Use as a side dish.  I pour mine over salmon patties.  They
           also go well with chicken, pork or ham.   You can eliminate the milk, it just makes them taste richer.
