Basic White Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2oz/55g butter
  • 1 slightly rounded tablespoon of flour
  • 1 pint/570ml organic milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • a good grinding of black pepper
  • a grating of nutmeg



Directions

Melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan and stir in the flour. Let this cook for a minute before gradually adding the milk, stirring continuously until all the milk is added and the sauce bubbles gently – no fast boiling. Let the sauce bubble gently for a minute, then draw the pan off the heat, and stir in the salt, pepper and nutmeg. The bubbling allows the flour to cook through.
