Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1½-1⅔ cups semi-skimmed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2½ tablespoons flour
- Salt (and white pepper to taste (optional))
Instruction
- In a saucepan melt the butter (on a low heat, taking care not to brown it). Add the flour and combine using a whisk. Once the mixture has thickened gradually add the milk stirring with the whisk all the time. You can increase the heat a little to speed things up, but whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming and the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once all the milk has been added season and simmer gently for about 3 minutes, stirring all the time. If you don't use the sauce immediately it will thicken after a while. Just add a bit of milk/water when you are ready to use it and heat it up gently stirring all the time (you may have to adjust the seasoning too).
