Serves 6 Hearty Appetites
Ingredients:
1½ to 2 pounds salted cod
3 Tbsp butter ( and extra for serving with meal )
4 cups whole milk or evaporated milk
1 medium chopped onion
½ cup vegetable broth from boiled potatoes
4 to 5 tbsp flour ( cornstarch if needed )
½ tsp pepper

Method: 
Soak salted cod for 4 hours (change water twice).
Bring cod to a simmer NOT BOIL for 2 to 3 minutes – drain water – bring to simmer again 2 to 3 minutes.
Flake cod (it will separate naturally).  REMOVE ANY SILVER SKIN and bones.

In large frying pan sauté medium onion that has been finely chopped with butter until very soft. Then add whole milk or evaporated milk to the pot, except 1 cup.

Bring milk/butter/onion mixture to a simmer.  Add fresh ground black or white pepper to taste. Add flaked codfish.

In a bowl or mason jar, add 4 or 5 tablespoons of flour to the remaining 1 cup of milk and whisk together to get a thick creamy thickening agent (or rue).

Slowly pour the rue into the simmering pot while stirring.  Stir until desired consistency.
If finished creamed codfish appears to thick – add a little more milk to regain desired
consistency, or vegetable broth from potatoes.
Serve with boiled potatoes.
Bonita’s Tips:
Spoon over boiled potatoes and  top with a pat of butter.
Sprinkle with COLMAN’S DRY MUSTARD for TRADITIONAL flavour.
