White Sauce

2T. butter
1T. flour
1/2t. salt
1c. milk

Melt the butter in a small saucepan in low heat.  Add flour and salt.  Stir until the flour is cooked in the fat.  Remove from heat and add 1/4c. milk.   Stir until the mixture is smooth.  Slowly stir in the rest of the milk until all the milk has been added.  Return to the heat (low to medium heat) and cook slowly until the sauce reaches the boiling point.  Stir constantly to prevent lumping and scorching.  May adjust to table below for the thickness of sauce you want.  Makes 1c. sauce.

Thickness of Sauce:             Amount of Flour:
Thin                                             1T. flour to each 1c. milk
Medium                                      2T. flour to each 1c. milk
Thick                                           3T. flour to each 1c. milk
