White Sauce (béchamel sauce)
I was taught this sauce by my sister-in-law many years ago, as béchamel is an important basis of many dishes, especially in French & Italian cuisine.
It does require time and patience to make properly, as it can end up getting a little messy. The flour could splatter out of the pot. The milk can splash and create a mess, if being too vigorous with the stirring.
I hope you will find this helpful and useful as its a quick and simple recipe to make, and better than shop bought!

Slowly add the flour bit by bit. Keep stirring continuously until a paste forms (or becomes a crumble like texture called a 'roux', the basis for many sauces). Continue cooking and stirring for a couple more minutes.

Now add the milk very gradually to the roux. Stir gently until it develops into a smooth consistency. Cook for a further 5-10 mins, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened.
