Step:

  1. Super Easy Microwave Method:
    Place Butter and Flour in a heat-proof bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds or until Butter melts. Mix well with a whisk until smooth.

  2. Add cold Milk (but DO NOT try to whisk), and heat in the microwave for 1 minutes. (This process is to warm the Milk.) Whisk well until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

  3. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, take it out and whisk well, then heat again for about 1 minute and bring to the boil. Once it’s boiled and thickened, take it out and whisk well until smooth. Season with Salt and White Pepper.
    *Note: I used 1100W power Microwave. Alter the heating time accordingly.

  4. Saucepan Method:
    Melt Butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add Plain Flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture bubbles. Gradually add Milk, constantly stirring.

  5. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Season with Salt and White Pepper.


Ingredients

  1. 20 g (2 tablespoons) Plain Flour
  2. 20 g Butter
  3. 1 cup Milk
  4. *Note: Thickness of the sauce can be altered by reducing or increasing the amount of Milk
  5. Salt & White Pepper
