MY MOM'S WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a sauce pan make roux by mixing the butter and flour together over med heat.
• Add milk and mix all together with a wire whisk until smooth.
• Bring to a boil on stove for 1 minute , stirring constantly ; until to desired thickness.
• I found it has better flavor if you cook it for 10 minute ; that will get it thicker and cook the flour taste out. If you want a really thick white sauce just increase the amount and flour and butter to 4 TBS with the same amount of milk.
• Note: sometimes I add just a hint of garlic powder along with the salt and lots of pepper. (Taste it to make sure it's seasoned to your liking)
• Add some cheese, garlic powder, chives, thyme, oregano, basil. and mushrooms and you have a perfect alfredo sauce.
