White Sauce (Cheesy or Not) Medium Sauce

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.
