Ingredients

  • two tablespoonfuls of cream
  • bay leaf
  • parsley
  • salt
  • pepper
  • mace

Directions

1

Peel the squash, slice thin, put in a saucepan and add boiling water to come nearly to the top of the squash. When nearly tender add an onion, a bay leaf and several sprigs of parsley. When tender mash through a fine sieve, return to the fire, let it come to a boil, stir in a heaping tablespoonful of butter, a heaping teaspoonful of flour, season with salt and pepper and a tiny pinch of mace. Have almost as much boiling milk as puree, remove from the fire and stir together, add two tablespoonfuls of cream, and serve at once.
