Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a preheated saucepan and melt it down on low heat.
-
Add Flour: Once the butter is melted, add the plain flour.
-
Stir and Cook: Stir well and cook the mixture of butter and plain flour until it becomes slightly lumpy and dry at this stage. It’s very important to cook this well, which should take around 2-4 minutes.
-
Slowly Add Milk: Remove from heat and slowly, very slowly add the milk while stirring continuously. The sauce should start to become smooth. If it remains lumpy, you might have been adding the milk too fast.
-
Adjust Thickness: Keep adding the milk until the desired thickness is achieved, ensuring the sauce maintains a smooth consistency.
-
Add Paprika: Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, add the paprika for an extra kick.
-
Optional Additions: You can also add other herbs or ingredients like lemon for additional flavor if desired.
-
Serve or Store: Use the sauce immediately in your favorite recipes or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use.
