how to make white sauce

 To make a basic white sauce, also known as béchamel sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups of milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Here are the steps to make a white sauce:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

2. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk until smooth.

3. Continue to whisk the flour mixture for about 2 minutes or until it starts to turn slightly golden.

4. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

5. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.

6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2-3 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and smooth.

7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
