  4               cups  cooked small white beans
                        -- OR Great Northern Beans
  8             cloves  garlic -- sliced
  1           teaspoon  butter
     1/2           cup  milk

Combine the beans and water to cover in a heavy 2-qt saucepan with lid. Bring to 
a boil over high heat and cook 5-10 minutes until the beans are heated through 
and very soft. Drain very well and return to pan.

Saute the garlic in the butter in a small skillet over low heat until it starts 
to brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in 1/4 cup milk to warm 
it.

Add the milk mixture to the cooked beans., With a hand-held electric beater, 
whip the beans until thoroughly pureed but not smooth, adding more milk if 
necessary. Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve.
