This recipe was extracted from Fifty-two Sunday dinners (1913) by Elizabeth O. Hiller, page 32. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER SAUCE Untie the bunches, wash and remove scales. Cut off the hard part of spears as far up as they will snap. Retie, and cook in boiling salted water until tender (about fifteen minutes), leaving the tips out of water the first ten minutes of cooking. Drain, remove strings. Arrange in hot serving dish and pour over two tablespoons melted butter (for each bunch), sprinkle with salt and pepper

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
