Basic Cream Sauce

Basic Cream Sauce:

4 tbsp. butter
2 cup milk
1/4 cup flour

In a pan melt butter, add flour over medium high heat. Mix until mixture looks like dough - "roux". Slowly add milk stirring rapidly. Cook until mixture is same texture, add more milk, continue until thickness desired.

Great recipe for Swedish meatballs, using the fats from the baked meatballs add the flour and mix it around over the heat then add the milk.

Also a mushroom cream pasta or a seafood cream pasta (shrimp/lobster)

Basic recipe for Mac & Cheese too, add your favourite cheeses grated and allow to melt before tossing with pasta.

Mac & Cheese

Using this basic cream sauce here's some inspiration for the American classic dish of Mac & Cheese!

Once you make a basic white sauce, you could add a bit more milk to thin it out because the cheese adds a bit of "gumminess"

Grate in your favourite cheeses. For a mild flavour go with a basic white cheddar.

For more punch go with older aged cheeses or a blend of mild and sharp.

For a gourmet version add the french Gruyere or Comte cheeses or mimolette cheese for it's distinct flavour, mix it with a good melting cheese.

Add feta for a creamy fresh taste.
