Thin White Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1½ tablespoons flour
1 cup scalded milk
¼ teaspoon salt
Few grains pepper
Put butter in saucepan, stir until melted and bubbling; add flour mixed with seasonings, and stir until thoroughly blended. Pour on gradually the milk, adding about one-third at a time, stirring until well mixed, then beating until smooth and glossy. If a wire whisk is used, all the milk may be added at once.
