Homemade White Sauce

HOMEMADE WHITE SAUCE

Plain Flour – 2 tablespoons

Butter- 2 tablespoons

Milk – 2cups

Nutmeg (crushed) (optional)

Oregano (optional)

Mix butter and plain flour in a pan and cook for 5 minutes on low flame. It gives out a nice smell.

Now add ½ cup milk to it. Mix it. Than add rest of the milk. Cook on high flame, until it is saucy in consistency.

The starch granules in flour bursts and releases starch, which gives it a thickened consistency.

Use warm milk for smooth consistency.

NOTE: This is the basic white sauce recipe. To augment taste, you can add nutmeg, oregano to it.

             It is used in various pasta recipes, sandwiches, Lasagnia etc.
