A delightful and easy-to-make creamy white sauce perfect for enhancing your favorite dishes.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to keep the sauce light.
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk to form a smooth paste.
Cook the paste for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Adding the milk slowly helps in achieving a smooth consistency.
Continue whisking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Taste the sauce before serving to ensure the seasoning is balanced.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dishes or use it as a base for other recipes.
This sauce pairs wonderfully with pasta, vegetables, or as a topping for baked dishes.
