Simple & Foolproof White Sauce
I watched a TV programme a long time ago where the cook showed how to make béchamel sauce. I thought it looked really difficult...and it was!
So I made a simpler version of the recipe. This is now how we always make it at home.
It's easiest to use a non-stick frying pan.
You only need to mix quickly during Step 3. After that, you just need to stir slowly, but don't take any breaks. Recipe by Donpintan

Easy, Quick, and Microwaved Basic White Sauce Easy, Quick, and Microwaved Basic White Sauce
I saw this in a book but I made it easily more delicious by adding some milk to it. Also, by making it in the microwave, it doesn't burn, it has a nice color, and it doesn't dirty many dishes making it quite handy! For the grams part of measurement, you can convert it as necessary. You can use 10 g flour, 10 g butter, and 150 ml milk (you can even adjust the amount of milk too). It'll go well in many different recipes.Rather than make a regular basic sauce, I seasoned this with consommé and other flavours. If you don't cook it enough or cook it too much, you can put it right with more milk, water, and flour. If you half the amount of butter used, this becomes a low calorie recipe. Recipe by mini -
Easy White Sauce for Casseroles and Gratinées Easy White Sauce for Casseroles and Gratinées
You can make this white sauce in no time. I add bacon and ketchup into leftover rice, and pour over white sauce to make an easy doria, or make a small amount of the sauce to make gratin with toasted bread, or use it in a bento box. Sometimes I add more milk to make a thinner sauce, and pour it over omurice as well.The strength of gluten in the bread flour will easily produce a smooth sauce without fail, but you can produce good results with cake flour as well.

Easy White Sauce in the Microwave Easy White Sauce in the Microwave
I was able to easily make this by referring to Ms. Sachiko Murakami's microwavable recipes. The flavor is simple but skim milk powder and vegetable oil turned out to be a hit and it was easy to make! I have used this in other recipes as well and it doesn't affect the flavor.If you're want a stronger and richer flavor, butter is the best. Using vegetable or oilve oil gives it a more simple flavor. It's hard to thicken it though so please refer to Step 5. I think it's best to heat up gradually and cook down till the moisture evaporates. In Step 4, be sure to mix well so that the flour doesn't settle on the bottom. Recipe by maynyan
