The ingredients for White Sauce are:

3 Tbsp margarine or butter
3 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk, stock, or a combination of these

Note: the calories here are from Imperial stick margarine and 2% milk, because that's how I usually make it. The calories and fat are slightly higher than the canned versions this way, but the sodium is FAR reduced (less than half than the low-sodium canned versions) and there are more vitamins and nutrients.

To get your calories and fat below the canned versions, use 1% milk and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light Stick. I haven't calculated what it would be like with chicken broth instead of milk, but my guess is the fat and calories would decrease while sodium goes up.

Here is how you make White Sauce:

In a small pan, melt the butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add flour and salt and stir until bubbly. With a wisk, stir in the liquid. Cook and stir until thickened.Number of Servings: 3.5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THINMOM5.
