Cheese Sauce

Sauces, Stuffings and Marinades  

Ingredients

1 Tbsp Plain flour
25 gm Butter/oil
250 ml Milk
50 gm Cream cheese
100 gm Cheddar cheese
Salt
Black pepper
Cayenne pepper
Nutmeg (grated)

Method

Melt the butter (or oil) in a saucepan. Add the flour and mix well. Slowly add the milk stirring vigourously to avoid lumps. This can be done off the heat or still over the heat but the latter needs more care to avoid the lumps. Bring to a boil, stirring all the time to make a smooth sauce. Once it is boiling, stir in the seasoning and cheese and cook until the cheese is melted into the sauce.

Notes

If the cheddar is strong (or you use another strong cheese) you may want to reduce the amount. Adjust the amount of cheese to taste.
