White Sauce Made Easy

Let's start with something so simple, that my 3yr old cousin can make it.

What you need:

• One large onion
• One/two sticks of butter (Salted)
• Two tablespoons of  plain flour (Aata in Hindi)
• A cup of warm milk
• Pepper
• Salt to taste

Method:

• Melt the butter in a pan on a medium flame.
• Chop up the onions finely into tiny cubes and saute them in the butter.
• When the onions start to cook (They basically turn a very pale white.) put in the flour and mix thoroughly.
• After making sure you've incorporated the above properly, slowly add the milk while whisking thoroughly, till the mix becomes thick and smooth.
• Add the pepper and salt- if required.
• Voila! Your white sauce is ready! 

As I've mentioned in my first post, there's no such thing as too much butter! It you want to make it a lot more saucier, add more milk, and make sure that the milk is WARM. I learnt it the hard way when I found yucky lumps in my sauce.
You can use this for any kind of pasta!
