Grandmas Basic White Sauce Recipe
Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 tbsp: Butter*,
1 small: Chopped shallot, about 2 tb
2 tbsp: Flour,
1 1/2 cup: Warm milk*,
1/4 tsp: Salt,
1/8 tsp: White pepper,
1/8 tsp: Fresh ground nutmeg*,
Directions:
In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the
shallot and saute, stirring, for 3 minutes. Lower the heat, add the
flour, and cook stirring, 3 minutes more or until the roux is golden
and bubbling. Pour in the milk and bring it to a simmer, stirring
constantly, for 5 minutes or until thickened and smooth. Add the
salt, pepper and nutmeg. The recipe makes a scant 2 cup, but easily
doubles if you need more. *We substitute unsalted butter (or Weight
Watchers low-fat substitute) for Grandmas butter, and use skim milk
or 2% lowfat instead of the whole milk she used, with no trouble at
all.
