White Sauce is also called as Bechamel sauce. Though it sounds difficult, it is just a paste made of butter, milk and flour. White sauce can also be mixed with cheese or egg or sour cream etc to get different flavors.
This can be use with pasta or as a great dip for grilled steak and vegetables,as cream for soup, filling for sandwich or even with pizza. White sauce have to be served hot, as it begins to thicken as the temperature goes down.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour

Salt, Pepper, Oregano (according  to taste)

Method:

1. Boil milk. You can add bay leaf, onion, and cloves to milk while bringing it to boil. This is totally optional.
2. Take a pan, melt butter, and add the flour. Wisk well. Flour should turn a little brown in color. The browner, the nuttier. Be careful not to burn it. Black means burned.
