ONIONS IN MILK.

Peel small white onions; nearly fill a quart bottle; put in two tablespoonfuls of soft butter mixed to a paste with a tablespoonful of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, and one half teaspoonful of white pepper; pour in a pint of cold milk; cork the bottle; set it in a saucepan of cold water over the fire to boil an hour or more; serve it turned into a hot covered dish.

Wash the leaves in cold water; shake out each leaf, and heap them on a colander to drain.
