Procedure

Onion cream sauce

edit
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir flour into melted butter. Cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the mixture loses its floury taste. Do not let the mixture brown.
  3. Gradually stir the cream into the flour mixture, taking care to prevent lumps. Cook, stirring, until mixture has thickened.
  4. Mix in the salt, onion, and parsley.
  5. Temper the beaten egg with some of the sauce, taking care not to curdle the egg. Stir this mixture back into the sauce.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
