  • Serve with salad leaves and what ever sauce you like.

White Sauce

  • Mix flour and butter and cook off flour for 1 minute.
  • Stirring all the time as not allow it to brown. Add milk a little at a time and keep stirring with a whisk to get rid of any lumps.
  • Keep adding milk until all gone and the sauce is nice and smooth and thickening. Add salt to taste and than set aside to cool.
