my mom's white sauce
This sauce was my mom's and it's very good , I like to use this sauce for my creamed potatoes and pea's. You can combine white sauce with chicken broth if you are making a white sauce to serve over chicken and noodles. For chicken pie, you can use chicken broth to thicken so it is like gravy. This white sauce is wonderful for topping meat or noodles. I add cheese to this white sauce when I'm making homemade macaroni and cheese. White sauce can be used as a base for lot of dishes like cream & cheese sauces , soups , pasta sauces , scalloped potatoes..etc.

How To Make my mom's white sauce
-
Step 1In a sauce pan make roux by mixing the butter and flour together over med heat. -
Step 2Add milk and mix all together with a wire whisk until smooth.
-
Step 3Bring to a boil on stove for 1 minute , stirring constantly ; until to desired thickness.
-
Step 4I found it has better flavor if you cook it for 10 minute ; that will get it thicker and cook the flour taste out. If you want a really thick white sauce just increase the amount and flour and butter to 4 TBS with the same amount of milk.
-
Step 5Note: sometimes I add just a hint of garlic powder along with the salt and lots of pepper. (Taste it to make sure it's seasoned to your liking)
-
Step 6Add some cheese, garlic powder, chives, thyme, oregano, basil. and mushrooms and you have a perfect alfredo sauce.
