Avoid a "floury" white sauce

At the beginning of a white sauce always cook off the butter and flour over low heat for 1 minute to ensure the finished sauce doesn’t have a “floury” flavour. Remove from the heat before whisking in milk and returning back to the heat to thicken. 

Bechamel Sauce

This Easy Bechamel Sauce is rich, creamy and perfect for pasta bakes, lasagne or gratins. Made with Western Star butter, milk, parmesan and a simple roux, it’s a classic white sauce that’s quick to prepare and a versatile base for so many comforting dishes. 

Runny white sauce?

If your white sauce isn’t thick enough, you can whisk in a little cornflour and water paste or begin again by making another roux and whisking in the runny white sauce in place of the milk.
