How to Make White Sauce Or Cheddar White Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of white pepper until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk (or light cream for a richer sauce, omitting salt in this case). Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce comes to a gentle simmer and thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat immediately upon simmering. For a thinner sauce (suitable for soups), add a little extra milk as needed while whisking.
- **Cheddar Cheese Variation:** Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
