Makes about 10 fl oz (275 ml)

Fatless White Sauce

Ingredients
10 fl oz (275 ml) milk – this can be infused but must be cold
¾ oz (20 g) sauce flour
salt and freshly milled black pepper

Method

All you do to make this sauce is place the milk in a small saucepan, then simply add the sauce flour and, over a medium heat, bring everything gradually up to simmering point, whisking vigorously and continuously with a balloon whisk until the sauce has thickened to a smooth, rich creaminess. Then add seasoning and allow it to cook very gently for 5 minutes on the lowest possible heat.
