Ingredients

4 Tbs butter (no substitues)

2 1/2 Tbs sweet rice flour or all purpose flour

1 1/2 cup milk (whole milk, or half and half)

Directions

Over low heat, melt butter and add flour. If you need a very white sauce, just cook until flour and butter are well incorporated, if you want a richer, nuttier flavor, cook until the desired depth of color is acheived.

Slowly add milk and cook until thickened.
