Equipment
Method
- In a medium saucepan, completely melt 2 tablespoons butter over low to medium-low heat.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour to the melted butter
- At the same time, also add in 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper into the melted butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is bubbling and smooth.
- Remove from heat.
- Slowly pour in the milk about 1/2 cup at a time, while constantly whisking to help avoid clumps.
- Return to the heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. (Make sure to scrape the corners and whisk any flour there into the mixture as well.)
- Boil for 1 minute while stirring, until the mixture is thickened.
- Remove from heat and use promptly.
Notes
Troubleshooting:
- Make sure to be stirring very often, during each phase of the recipe.
- Add milk in slowly, 1/2 a cup at a time to avoid clumps.
- Continue cooking till it is thick enough to coat a spoon.
- If it is too thick, add some more milk
- If there are clumps of flour, and whisking doesn't help, you can strain it through a fine mesh colander.
