white sauce
Butter-flour-milk base
White sauce is a basic sauce made by cooking flour in butter, then adding milk and stirring until thickened.
It serves as a foundation for many other sauces—adding cheese makes it a cheese sauce, adding stock makes it velouté.
Also called béchamel.
The recipe calls for a cup of white sauce.
