Spinach In Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lb. young tender spinach
1 heaping Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. finely grated onion
1/4 c. heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Prepare spinach by washing carefully and discarding all tough stems.
Throw spinach into a kettle of boiling water; boil 3 minutes (no longer).
Remove from fire and drain.
In a heavy pan, put butter.
Shake on it the flour; blend well.
Add spinach, onion, cream, salt and pepper.
Heat thoroughly and serve immediately.
This is equally good if thick sour cream is used in place of the whipping cream.
Serves 8.
