Comments:
By adding 1 egg, 1 tbs cream, and a little salt & pepper to 200gm of purée, you can make small individual flans in ramekins. Butter the ramekins well, put in this mixture, tap down, and cook in a bain marie at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes. Place butter
Serving Suggestions:
Ingredients:
800 gm celery root
1 quart milk
80 gm butter
2 dl cream
50 gm butter
Salt & pepper

Instructions:
1. Peel the celery root, then cut into cubes about 1/2 inch square. Put in a pot and cover with milk (add water, if necessary), add butter, salt and pepper. Cover with paper. Bring to the boil and cook at a gentle boil until done (soft); possibly as long as 1 hour. Drain well.

2. Put celery in a large sauce pan over medium heat and stir-cook to remove moisture.

3. Using a food processor, purée until very smooth and fine. Put back into the saucepan and stir constantly over medium heat, again to remove moisture. Add 50 gm butter, then the cream, a little at a time, to get the desired consistency.
