Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 400 ml

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (cornflour)
  • 13.5 fl oz milk about generous 1 2/3 cups; divided
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Mix the cornstarch (cornflour) with 2 tbsp of milk and set aside. Bring the rest of the milk to a simmer on the stove, but don’t let it boil and burn. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir well continuously.
  • The sauce should begin to thicken; keep stirring to avoid lumps. When it is your desired consistency, season well with salt and pepper.

Notes

A lot of these cheat’s white sauces should really be called cheat’s cheese sauce, as they are often cheese-based or will have cheese added in. But they are delicious and fit a range of purposes, from lasagne to cauliflower cheese.
