Ingredients

How to make it

  • Scrub the celery and put aside all discoloured pieces;
  • cut the rest small and place in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover it.
  • The instant this water boils strain it off and put the celery to boil for about 1-1/2 hours in one pint of water and one pint of milk.
  • Put the butter and flour into another pan and stir them over the fire until well blended, then add the celery and liquor,
  • stir the mixture until boiling, rub through a hair sieve, season, re-warm, and serve.
