William's favorite brussels sprouts

4 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1pintBrussels sprouts
2cupsLow fat milk
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
3tablespoonsFlour
¼cupSour cream
2cupsWater

Directions

Remove the stems and any loose or wilted leaves from the Brussel sprouts. Stab the tip of a paring knife into the bottom of each sprout, cutting in about ½ inch deep. Make another cut in each sprout across the cut you've already made, forming a deep X in the base of each sprout.

Pour the 2 cups of water in a heavy saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add the sprouts and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes just until tender. Do not overcook.

Drain set aside. Combine the salt, pepper, sour cream, flour and milk into a cream sauce. Serve as a side dish.
