Handmade white sauce made with butter, all purples flour, and milk that's a smooth texture and pleasant flavor. It is a staple in my freezer at home. When I make the white sauce, I always make a sufficient amount at one time. Except for the amount I use that day, I freeze the rest for later use. It can be used for a variety of dishes.

Ingredients

  • 80 g butter
  • 80 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1000 ml milk
  • 1 bay leaf
  • pinch black pepper
  • pinch nutmeg powder, (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a pan over low heat, or it'll burn easily.
  • Add the flour in batches so it mixes better and doesn't clump.
  • After frying until the flour has taken on a light color, add the milk in batches so that it's evenly distributed.
  • Add the salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and nutmeg powder until the sauce is smooth and bubbles form in the center.
  • Don't forget to stir and cook it for 1-2 minutes. Then let it cool before you pack it separately.
  • Make sure you only cook the sauce over low heat, otherwise it can burn easily.
