ingredients
directions
- Melt butter over low heat in sauce pan.
- Blend in flour and seasoning over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Allow to cook for at least 1 minute to eliminate raw flour flavor.
- Remove from heat, SLOWLY add milk, stirring constantly to make a smooth paste; stir in remaining milk.
- Return to heat, stirring constantly.
- Bring to a boil again and keep stirring until thickened.
- If you want cheesy white sauce, add 1/2 cup shredded cheese (you can add as much cheese as you like to make it as cheesy as you wish).
- Cover pan with tight fitting lid to prevent film formation until sauce is to be used.
- Use on creamed and scalloped foods, sauces, gravies and in vegetable dips.

This is the traditional medium white sauce recipe I learned in cooking class 50 years ago. I add significantly more shredded cheese, greek seasoning, and a good quality mustard to bring out the cheddar flavor.Reply
