Basic white sauce

Use less milk for a thicker sauce and more for a pouring sauce.

What you need

25 g butter
25 g plain flour
600 ml hot milk
seasoning

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and stir for a short while, without letting it brown.

  2. Add the hot milk, stirring all the time until it comes to the boil - so that it thickens smoothly without going lumpy. Allow to simmer for about 10 min.

  3. Add seasoning to taste.
