How to Make No Roux White Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cold milk and 1 tablespoon of cornflour until completely smooth and lump-free.
  2. Pour the remaining 2 cups of milk into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat.
  3. Gradually whisk in the cornflour mixture. Continue whisking constantly.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring continuously, until it thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes). Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in any desired additions such as cheese (1/2 cup grated cheddar is recommended), 1-2 stock cubes, or 1 tablespoon of honey.
