The ingredients for White Sauce are:

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk

Here is how you make White Sauce:

1. In a small, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. 2. Blend 2 tablespoons of flour into the melted butter. 3. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. 4. Cook over low heat, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes. Cooking for this length of time will minimize 'flour' taste. 5. Slowly add 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly. 6. Continue cooking slowly until smooth and thickened. 7. For thin white sauce, follow the instructions above, but use 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of flour. Thin white sauce is used in cream soups. 8. For thick white sauce, follow the instructions above, but use 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of flour. Thick white sauce is used in souffl?s. 9. For heavy white sauce, follow the instructions above, but use 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of flour. Heavy white sauce is used as a binder for croquettes. Tips: 1. To make the standard B?chamel, after adding the milk to the medium white sauce recipe add 1 small onion studded with 3 cloves, a bay leaf, and a grating of nutmeg. 2. Light stock, cream, or a combination may be used in place of the milk. 3. Add more flavor by seasoning with celery salt, nutmeg, a teaspoon of lemon juice, onion juice, or sherry, or a few tablespoons of chopped chives or parsley .
