Good basic sauce recipe that neatly sidesteps the adding the milk in very small increments to prevent lumps.Use a bit more butter (by weight) than flour.

Really great sauce that I used with cannelloni both partially as a filling and over the top. Turned out perfectly!

I am giving this recipe 5 stars because I feel an indicator of a great recipe is when you change the servings and it turns out fantastic! I adjusted the servings from 3 cups down to 1 cup using the Zaar Serving Changer Tool. The sauce is simply fantastic all by itself. I did add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan and 1 tsp of dehydrated onion, as I am using this sauce to make my hublet a lasagna for dinner this evening. This is also a great make ahead sauce, which simply requires a bit of plastic wrap to cover and a quick trip to the microwave. I can see several uses for the sauce in my husblet's future.
