White Or Cream Sauce

Put 1 tablespoon butter into sauce pan; when melted add 1 tablespoon flour and rub to a smooth paste; add 1 1/2 cups milk; stir constantly and cook until it is of the consistency of thick cream; add salt and pepper. The butter must not brown, and the sauce should be perfectly smooth and free from lumps.

Drawn Butter Sauce

Proceed as above, using more butter and boiling water in place of milk, pouring it on gradually and stirring briskly to prevent lumping. Allow the sauce to boil up once after it is smooth.
