⏱ Time
1 minute to simmer

🥘 Ingredients

1/4 lb. of fresh butter, 1 tablespoonful of flour, salt to taste, 1/2 gill of water, 1/2 spoonful of white vinegar, a very little grated nutmeg.

👨‍🍳 Method

Mix the flour and water to a smooth batter, carefully rubbing down with the back of a spoon any lumps that may appear. Put it in a saucepan with all the other ingredients, and let it thicken on the fire, but do not allow it to boil, lest it should taste of the flour.

This one hit different

I tried making this old-school white sauce this week, and I must say, it was a delightful trip down memory lane. I found the process surprisingly soothing, like a warm hug from the past. The sauce came together in mere minutes, and I was pleasantly surprised by how a mere pinch of nutmeg elevated the simple ingredients to something special. It was like a tiny sparkle in an otherwise plain dish. This recipe is perfect for anyone seeking comfort in the kitchen. It's quick, easy, and the result is a sauce that's versatile and comforting. I served it over some steamed vegetables, and it was like a cozy blanket on a chilly evening. If you're looking for a simple, heartwarming dish, give this one a try. You'll find it's a wonderful way to end a long day.
