Asparagus Squares

February 1949

Now that asparagus is beginning to raise its regal head in store windows, plan a Lenten dish featuring this spring favorite. Cut buttered, cooked asparagus in 5-in. lengths. Cut rolled-out biscuit dough in 4-in. squares, place asparagus on squares, and wrap biscuit dough around the asparagus. Bake these bundles like plain biscuits and serve them hot with golden cheese sauce poured over them. If asparagus is not available, use green beans or whole cooked carrots instead. White sauce sprinkled with chopped parsley is as good as cheese sauce for the carrot bundles.
