This is as good as asparagus gets. We had it every spring when I was a child. My kids love it too. I usually saute the asparagus in BUTTER and then make the roux in the same pan with the asparagus. Add milk after the flour and butter cooks for a few minutes to avoid a raw flour taste.Just a dash of garlic powder and onion powder will give it a nice finish. Thanks for a trip down memory lane ! Give this a try, you'll love it as much as we do!

My dad always made creamed asparagus over toast when I was growing up! It is one of my favorite breakfasts, especially over grain bread! I make it slightly different making a roux out of 4Tbsp butter and 4Tbsp flour, then add 2 cups milk and some garlic powder, salt and pepper. Basically the same though...everyone should try this!

You can't go wrong with this recipe. I've been making it for fifty years. I used all of the reserved, asparagus-infused water with the cream. I also cracked a couple of eggs into the cream. Then poured it over English muffins.
