From the Kitchen of: Pepper
Source: Pat Miller at Recipe/Kitchen Chat
This sauce is particularly good served over fresh steamed broccoli or cauliflower.
| | *****White Sauce***** | |
| 1 | tbsp | butter or margarine |
| 1 | tbsp | flour |
| 1/2 | tsp | salt |
| 1 | cup | milk |
Melt margarine in 1 quart bowl or casserole in microwave 30 seconds.
Stir in flour and salt to make smooth paste.
Blend in milk gradually, stirring constantly. Cook in microwave 3
minutes. Stir well at 30-second intervals.
Makes a thin sauce.
For medium sauce, add 1 additional tbsp each of margarine and flour.
For thick sauce, add 3 additional tbsp of margarine and flour
Cheese sauce variation:
Make a thin white sauce (above) using only 1/4 tsp salt. A few dashes of worcestorshire sauce may be added (but don't overdo). Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese (I like sharp cheddar best) after white sauce is thickened. Cook in microwave briefly to melt cheese.
