  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp butter

  1. Wash the asparagus thoroughly. Cut the tips into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Trim the rest of the asparagus stalks of any tough or woody parts and set aside. Place tips in saucepan and cover with water. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove tips and set aside. Cook remainder of asparagus in the same water until tender. Drain.
