Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan on a low heat
- 2
Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until drying and the floury taste has cooked out
- 3
Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid getting lumps in the finished sauce
- 4
Keep adding milk until you reach the consistency you want
- 5
Season to taste and it's done!
- 6
At this stage you can use it in a chicken pie with mixed vegetables and pastry. Or see my ocean pie recipe on how to use it with fish

My mum served it with cooked, chopped chicken or with spaghetti and as kids we loved it. You could add chopped sausage, bacon or use it in a lasagne. I have a fab free-from lasagne recipe posted!

Here I've stirred chunks of cooked chicken and tinned sweetcorn in after thickening the sauce and simply heated it through

Vickys Oven-Fried Coconut Prawns & Mango Sauce, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Oven-Fried Coconut Prawns & Mango Sauce, GF DF EF SF NF
Coconut Shrimp is a popular snack recipe but served with some rice or a salad can be a pretty decent lunch dish. The breadcrumbs help soak up the oil that naturally comes out of the coconut and make the coating a bit crispier. You can use rolled oats for the same purpose. Grind them up a little bit first but don't turn them into flour! Very moreish! Vicky@Jacks Free-From Cookbook -
