any · comedic · 47 sec

Soak one cupful dried lima beans over night. Next morning, drain and cover with boiling water. Let them cool, drain, cover the second time with boiling water, cool and repeat for the third time. Slip off the loosened skins, put the beans in a baking dish, cover with hot milk, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover and bake for two hours. Remove the cover after about one hour’s baking, add two tablespoonfuls of butter in small pieces, scatter over the top of the beans, and complete baking with the cover off.
