Ingredients

This is a medium white sauce, to be used on creamed casseroles, scalloped foods, etc.

2 tablespoons butter or oleo

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

Directions

Melt butter over low heat in sauce pan.

Bring to a boil again and keep stirring until thickened.

If you want cheesy white sauce, add 1/2 cup shredded cheese (you can add as much cheese as you like to make it as cheesy as you wish).
