  2. Trim and halve 1 pound of Brussels sprouts. Parboil in salted water for 7 minutes, then drain well.

  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of warm milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste; add 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg.
