Basic White Sauce

List of Ingredients




2 T Butter
2 T Flour
1/2 t Salt
1 C Milk (warm)
Other seasonings as desired (I add White Pepper)


Recipe



Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the flour, stirring continuously over a medium heat `til mixture begins to bubble. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and desired thickness is achieved.
Add seasonings as desired. (i.e. salt and pepper, etc)
*Note: For a thinner white sauce, reduce the flour and butter to 1 tablespoon each.
For a thicker white sauce, increase the flour and other to
3 tablespoons each.
**Note For an Alfredo sauce add garlic powder, onion powder, and Parmesan Cheese as desired to your particular taste.
Onion Powder adds nice flavor if you intend to use the sauce for creamed vegetables.
