This is a classic French white sauce typically used to accompany fish. It is also excellent with mushrooms and can be thickened by doubling the final simmering time to make a pie filling.
Ingredients:
30g butter
1 medium onion, sliced
1 celery stick, sliced
salt and black pepper, to taste
1 heaped 1 tbsp flour
600ml hot milk
3 tbsp double cream
Method:
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the onion and celery and fry until lightly browned (about 8 minutes) then add the seasonings and stir the flour into butter.
Cook gently for 5 minutes to remove the raw taste from the flour then gradually stir-in the milk. Simmer for 15 minutes, until thickened, then strain into a clean bowl, add the cream and set aside until needed. Warm though (but do not boil) before serving.
