Points to remember:
- Put 500ml milk, 50g plain flour and 50g butter into a saucepan.
- Put the saucepan on the hob over a medium heat and whisk continuously until the butter melts and the sauce is thickened and smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper then use in your recipes.
- Add grated cheese and pour over macaroni or use in a cauliflower cheese recipe, or add a handful of chopped parsley and serve with fish.
