Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon plain flour
• 10 ounces milk
• 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce Base:

   • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
   • Add the plain flour to the melted butter, stirring continuously until smooth.

2. Cook the Base:

   • Cook the butter-flour mixture over a gentle heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This helps to cook off the raw flavor of the flour.

3. Incorporate the Liquid:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually add the milk, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition to prevent lumps from forming.

4. Thicken the Sauce:

   • Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. This will thicken the sauce to a smooth consistency.

5. Add Flavor:

   • Once the sauce has thickened, add the finely chopped parsley, salt, and pepper, stirring to incorporate evenly.

6. Final Cooking:

   • Allow the sauce to cook gently for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

7. Serve:

   • Remove the parsley sauce from the heat and serve it hot alongside your favorite dishes. Enjoy the creamy goodness!
