This creamed onions recipe was my great-grandma's. Always a favorite at Thanksgiving dinner. It is worth using fresh pearl onions instead of frozen ones.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water

  • 2 cups peeled pearl onions

Creamy Onions
  1. Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan; add pearl onions and cook until just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup water in the saucepan; return onions to the pan and add butter.

  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 the mixture is too thin.
