Directions
Take half a dozen small French carrots, wash and scrape them, put in a saucepan with boiling water and cook until tender, remove from the fire, mix with milk and press through a sieve. Melt two ounces of butter in a saucepan and rub into it a slightly heaping tablespoonful of flour, add a few grains of cayenne pepper, and stir in a little at a time the carrot puree until smooth like cream, add a few slices of cooked celery root (celeriac), and salt to taste, and pour into the puree. A tablespoonful of sherry, if liked, may be added. Serve with fried croutons.
