Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup soy milk
- Toast, for serving (as desired)
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter: Begin by heating the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely, creating a rich, golden liquid that will form the base of your sauce.
-
Incorporate the Flour: Once the butter is melted, add the flour to the saucepan. Stir constantly for about a minute to cook the flour, creating a roux. This step ensures that your sauce will have a smooth, thick consistency without any lumps.
-
Add the Milk and Soy Milk: Gradually pour in the milk and soy milk while continuing to stir. The combination of these two liquids will enrich the sauce, adding both creaminess and a subtle nutty flavor. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture thickens significantly. This may take a few minutes, so be patient and ensure the sauce reaches a creamy, smooth texture.
-
Prepare the Toast: While the sauce is thickening, toast your bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. If you prefer, you can spread a bit of jam on the toast for added flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce has thickened, pour it generously over the prepared toast or serve it in a bowl for dipping. This simple yet delightful dish can be enjoyed on its own or with a sweet touch of jam.
