Cream Sauce

[Camper6]

This recipe is from an old cook book I have had for years.
I always make the Cheese Sauce when I make vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli.

If you do it in a double boiler it comes out exactly like you want it to and no lumps.  If you don't have a double boiler just use a fry pan on top of a sauce pan. or a steamer.

In a sauce pan, melt: 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Blend in 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/2 teaspoons of salt, few grains of pepper
Gradually stir in 1 cup of milk.
Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
For a thin cream sauce, decrease butter and flour to 1 tablespoon each. For a thick cream sauce, increase the butter and flour to 1/4 cup each.
Use with vegetables, chicken, seafood or in casserole dishes.  To keep hot, cover an place over simmering water.
Makes 1 cup

CHEESE SAUCE- Prepare Cream Sauce following basic recipe and blend in 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
