Yaya's Salsa Blanca (White Sauce) image

The most versatile cream sauce! It is great on it's own or as a base, which can be easily be jazzed up by adding chunks of smoked salmon, grated cheese, or carmelized onions - yum! It is perfect for pasta or served over steamed veggies. Also try it as a delicious, creamy layer in a vegetarian lasagna or mix this sauce into a veggie puree for an instant creamed soup.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups milk (works with soymilk if you'd rather keep it parve)
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1 dash salt
1 dash fresh cracked pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
1 egg yolk (optional)

Steps:

  • Dissolve flour in 1/2 cup of milk (or soymilk). Set aside.
  • Warm the remaining milk in a saucepan, over med heat. Do not let it boil.
  • Add butter (or margarine), salt, pepper and nutmeg. Do not be afraid to use the nutmeg, it makes the sauce!
