WHITE SAUCE
15g butter,
15g flour,
225ml milk.
METHOD
Melt the butter in a small pan until it starts to sizzle.
Add the flour off the heat and mix well to form a paste.
Return to the heat to cook the paste for 1 min.
Add milk a little at a time.
If milk is cold allow to heat before stirring into paste.
A whisk is useful for this as the action will incorporate the liquid evenly and quickly.
(If using an aluminum pan only use a wooden spoon)
Continue to add milk until a smooth sauce is achieved.
Season and use as required.
