Re: white sauce.for pasta bake?
I use this
BBC - Food - Recipes : White sauce
I thought most butter was salted. I. Only buy unsalted butter for making desserts.
Most of the time I’m lazy n use white sauce from a jar or packet.
Re: white sauce.for pasta bake?
Ohhh i can tell you too, I love making white sauce pasta!
I would fry a table spoon of butter, doesn't matter which one, then put in two table spoons of corn flower when the butter is melted. Fry this both together and slowly slowly add milk as you mix it, the milk will start to thicken. I also like to add double cream at this point to make it nice creamy and yummy as well as putting in cheese. Then add some herbs like oregano, let it all cook, but the more you cook it the thicker it will become.
Hope this helps:)
Melt butter and flour (same amount of both), cook for a minute or two until the raw flour smell is cooked out, stirring constantly so it doesn't stick and burn. Take milk and add slowly, whisking the entire time. Keep whisking as it thickens so no lumps form. Season with a touch of nutmeg (jaiphal powder) and not more bcos it can get overpowering if u add too much. White pepper powder and salt...to ur taste of course.
Salted or unsalted butter makes no difference in the end product.
To make it a cheese sauce, once the sauce has thickened.... turn the stove off and add shredded cheddar cheese/mozarella/parmesan etc. If u keep the heat on and cook the cheese it kind of idk curdles i guess and the sauce becomes grainy rather than smooth. So i always turn off the heat when i add the cheese.
^ And yes, adding heavy cream will make it thicker and richer. But i would only do that if i'm using low fat milk. Otherwise it would be too rich.
Re: white sauce.for pasta bake?
Don't use corn flour but all purpose flour or maida. If you are using salted butter, you can add less salt. You can also use oil/olive oil instead of butter.
Re: white sauce.for pasta bake?
are you guys talking about Alfredo Sauce?
No, bechamel... cheese sauce, cos of the roux base.
Re: white sauce.for pasta bake?
Bechemel is white sauce with all purpose flour-butter (adding milk or stock). I primarily only do this for macaroni & cheese (by adding milk) or chicken pot pies (by adding stock)
Alfredo sauce is made with all purpose flour-butter (adding cream/parmesan cheese)
ps: I have only used un-salted butter for both mentioned above.
