White Sauce

Recipe #131139 | 12 min | 2 min prep | add private note

By: Bec

More or less milk will produce a thinner or thicker sauce. Keep warm, if necessary, in top of double boiler over simmering water, but do not cover because the steam will thin the sauce.

SERVES 8 , 2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Warm milk in a saucepan over low heat. In a separate heavy-based saucepan, melt butter. Add flour all at once and cook until bubbly.
  2. 2
    Whisking constantly, gradually add milk.
  3. 3
    Continue whisking until sauce thickens; cook 2 to 3 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, until the consistency is rich and creamy. Season with salt and white pepper.
  4. 4
    Serve hot with lightly-cooked vegetables or use as a base for other sauces.
