- Wash and peel the asparagus, trim off the woody ends, then tie into a bundle with kitchen string.
- Bring water to the boil in a tall pot, salt it, and add 1 tsp sugar.
- Put the asparagus bundle into the boiling water, and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until tender but still with some bite.
- Remove, set the cooking water aside, untie the bundle, and arrange the asparagus on a platter.
- For the butter sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring, without letting it brown.
- Add half asparagus cooking water and half milk, and whisking constantly, cook into a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Season with salt and 1 tbsp sugar.
- Serve the warm asparagus with the butter sauce poured over or alongside it.
