White Sauce

Here are three thicknesses of a traditional, proven white sauce recipe for your creamed vegetables and soups.  Patience is a virtue when making the sauce, but the time spent will determine just how delicious your dish will taste.  Although rather bland (it is the supporting cast, of course) a bad sauce will definitely rear it's ugly head, so go ahead, treat yourself and enjoy!

Your Host,  Brad

Thin Medium Thick
1 Tbl butter
1 Tbl flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 Tbl butter
2 Tbl flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
3 Tbl butter
3 Tbl flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk

Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.   When it starts to bubble, add flour and salt and mix to a smooth paste.   Stirring constantly, slowly add milk keeping your smoothness and continue to stir until thickened.  Immediately remove from heat and set aside for use in your recipe.
