Magic Mix White Sauce Cheese Sauce Recipes

CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour 500ml milk into a large saucepan and add 4 tbsp plain flour and 50g butter.
• Turn on the heat to medium and start to whisk the mixture. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil - the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken.
• Whisk for another 2 mins while the sauce bubbles then stir in 100g grated strong cheddar cheese (or 50g grated cheddar, 50g crumbled blue cheese) until melted.
