So many of you have asked for a good white sauce recipe recently. When it comes to these type of basics, I normally refer to the queen of cooking herself - Delia Smith. Here are two methods which work equally well.
Makes about 580mls
INGREDIENTS
50g butter⠀
25g plain flour⠀
570ml milk⠀
Salt and pepper ⠀
130g grated cheese - cheddar, Parmesan or jarslberg
METHOD
Roux method
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.Stir in the flour to make a roux. Whisk in a little of the milk at a time, stirring continuously until you have a smooth, slightly thick sauce.⠀
Remove from the heat; season with salt and pepper. If you want to make it a cheese sauce, then add the cheese while it’s still hot.
All in one method - inspired by Delia
Add the milk butter and flour to a sauce pan and warm through on a low/medium heat to melt the butter. Once everything has melted then turn the heat to low. Keep whisking the whole time until the sauce starts to thicken and becomes smooth and glossy. Once the sauce has thickened continue to cook (and whisk) for a further 5 minutes.
The distinction between the roux method and the all-in-one method is particularly interesting. It highlights how cooking can accommodate different styles and preferences. I often find myself experimenting with basic sauces, and your insights will certainly enhance my approach, especially when creating comforting dishes. It might be useful to explore how these sauces can complement various meals, like those featured at Scooby Doo Creepy Run.
Thank you for this fantastic and foolproof white sauce recipe! Getting the roux just right and stirring patiently to avoid lumps always takes a bit of time at the stove. Funnily enough, while I was standing there continuously stirring my sauce, I ended up playing around with a fun little tool on my phone to pass the time: the Mayan Astrology Calculator. It converts your birthday into the ancient Tzolk'in calendar! It was a surprisingly neat distraction while cooking. By the way, the sauce turned out beautifully creamy—I will definitely be using this as my go-to base for macaroni and cheese!
