Hi, Brittany, Here is a basic cream sauce, also known as: Béchamel sauce or white sauce.
2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon salt dash of pepper (you can use white pepper if desired, and if you have it) 1 cup milk Make a roux of the butter and flour; combine them in a sauce pan by first melting the butter then adding the flour. Blend these well. Then add the milk which you have warmed slightly. Add seasonings and blend all with a whisk. Bring to a boil and boil until the sauce thickens. You can also add a dash of cayenne pepper, dry mustard, paprika, dill, or hot sauce. This is a good base for cheese sauce as well. Add grated or cubed cheese of your choice to the basic sauce. If it gets too thick, thin it with a little more milk. For a thinner or thicker sauce, you can vary the amounts of flour and butter to the milk by one tablespoon either way. Hope this helps.
