Time 15m

Yield 2 cups dip

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups warm milk
salt
white pepper
2 cups well-flavored chicken stock
1 cup shredded cheese, of choice

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook 2 minutes to cook away the raw taste of the flour.
  • Add the milk all at once. Stir well, and continue heating until mixture comes to a boil. It will thicken as it heats.
  • Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
  • To make Veloute Sauce: Substitute the chicken stock for the milk.
  • To make Cheese Sauce: Stir in shredded cheese of choice into the cooked Basic White Sauce and stir until melted.

I followed the recipe exactly and my white sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
