Simple White Sauce

You can't get much easier than this:

  • 2 Tbs. flour (I use arrow root flow)
  • 2 Tbs. butter
  • 2 c milk

  • Melt butter in a sauce pan
  • Sprinkle flour evenly over the entire pan of butter while stirring quickly by hand.
  • Add milk slowly while still stirring.
  • Continue to cook over medium heat , stirring constantly, until your sauce is your desired thickness.
* The sauce will stick and burn to the bottom of your pot if you’re not careful…medium heat, keep stirring, be sure to get the entire bottom of pan in each stir.

*Add salt and pepper if desired. Cayenne is a nice touch if you like a little bite in your sauce.
Grated cheese can also be added while the sauce is heating.
White sauce can be poured over vegetables, noodles and just about anything else!
