This is my mom's basic white sauce. We love it. It is great for so many different meals. We add hamburger to it and pour over potatoes to make Hamburger Gravy, or we will add sausage or boiled (smashed) eggs and pour over biscuits for biscuits and gravy. It can also be used as a country gravy.
This is a small recipe, we double it for a family of 4.
2 T. butter
2 T. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 c. milk*
Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Stir until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in milk. Heat to a boiling using a whisk to break up clumps, and stir constantly. The longer it boils the thicker it will be. We usually take it off the heat as soon as it starts to boil if we are adding meat or eggs to it.
*can use powdered milk with hot water, this usually speeds things up a bit.
