Simple White Sauce

Simple White Sauce

A basic white sauce, perfect for thickening soups or serving over toast.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 tablespoons Bread flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 cup Cold water (Approximately, or as needed)
  • 6 slices Dry toast
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

Instructions

  1. 1In a small bowl, gradually add cold water to the bread flour, mixing until you have a smooth, thin paste. Ensure there are no lumps.
  2. 2In a saucepan, add the flour paste to the milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. 3After 20 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the salt and butter in small pieces. Stir until the butter is melted and the salt is fully dissolved.
  4. 4Dip slices of dry toast separately in the sauce until soft. Remove the softened toast to a serving dish. Pour any remaining sauce over the toast and serve immediately.
