White Sauce

This is how to make a basic starting white sauce. I'll reference it from time to time, so I thought I'd post it so that others are familiar with how to make one. Sometimes we assume the knowledge of others and it's not fair. So here is me trying to not assume.

White sauce*

2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1 c. milk

Directions:

Melt butter over low heat. Turn off heat and mix with flour into a nice paste. Put it back on a medium heat and start adding milk slowly, stirring constantly. When it thickens, start adding whatever you were intending to add whether it be cheese, chicken broth, etc.
