Cook the onions
Clean and cut the onions, and cook them tender in the milk.
Sieve
Rub the onion through a fine-mesh sieve.
Boil up the purée
Set the purée over the heat with the cream and white sauce, and let it cook until suitably stiff. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the butter
Stir the cold butter in just before plating, and serve at once.
Measurements converted to modern units; "hair sieve" described as a fine-mesh sieve. The method is divided into numbered steps.
