How to prepare Carrots with milk
To prepare the carrots with milk, wash and peel the carrots 1, then slice them into rounds 2 about 1/8 inch thick 3.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a wide, shallow pan, then add the flour 4, stir, and then add the milk 5 and the water 6,
nutmeg and salt 7: mix well with a whisk to avoid forming lumps and as soon as the liquid in the pan starts to boil, add the sliced carrots 8. Let the carrots with milk cook gently until they are tender but not mushy, and the cooking liquid has thickened and reduced significantly 9. Before finishing cooking, adjust the salt if necessary and then serve the carrots with milk hot and creamy. If you like, you can sprinkle them with chopped parsley, or (if not serving to children) dust them with white pepper.
