Ingredients
- 3 tbsp salted butter plus more for serving
- 1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 to 1 tsp white pepper
- 2 cups half ‘n’ half
- 28 oz bag frozen peas
- fresh dill
Instructions
- In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat butter until it just begins to brown.
- Add flour, salt, and pepper to the pan then brown for 1 additional minute.TIP: It’s important to brown the flour before adding the cream to the pan. The browned butter and flour adds flavor and provides a smooth texture to the creamed peas.
- Whisk half ‘n’ half into the flour mixture until smooth.
- Add frozen peas and a teaspoon of chopped dill and heat over medium until mixture comes to a simmer and begins to thicken. Stir regularly to ensure the half ‘n’ half does not stick and burn to the bottom of the pan.
