...Easy White Sauce...
INGREDIENTS
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 lemon, juiced
DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan stir together cream, flour and juice from a lemon. Cook until thickened
Flour and a knob of butter in a saucepan, adding milk little by little...
Add salt & pepper to taste
THIN WHITE SAUCE:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
MEDIUM WHITE SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
THICK WHITE SAUCE:
3 or 4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or one half cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
Melt butter in a sauce pan and whisk in flour and salt until smooth. Gradually stir in cold milk, cooking over direct heat and stirring constantly until sauce boils; reduce heat slightly and continue to stir until sauce becomes smooth and thick. When sauce thickens, simmer for an additional 10 minutes over very low heat, stirring occasionally.
Stir carefully to avoid lumps. If sauce becomes lumpy, use a stick blender or rotary beater to blend out lumps or else press through a sieve. Wondra flour may be used to great advantage since this flour does not have a tendency to lump.

Of course, this is NOT a classic white sauce, but for an "on the fly" type of deal, this has worked best for me. One part milk to 2 parts heavy cream. On a Medium heat, let this slowly come to just before the boiling point, turn down your heat, then start whisking in some Parmesan Cheese, the powdered kind works here to aid in the thickening process. Once your sauce has reduced and thickened, I always add a little garlic and white pepper. The salt is already in your Parmesan, so I wouldn't suggest adding any more. So, that's it, hope this helps!
White Sauce
1 T butter
1 cup milk
2T corn-starch or
2T flour
? teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Melt butter in a saucepan.
Stir in cornstarch and flour to make a paste.
Keep on medium heat.
Add milk gradually while whisking (or stirring constantly.)
Bring to the boil (for about 2 minutes) or until sauce is thickened.
Add spices (and any other spices you want like parsley, oregano, etc. for a different taste.)
For thinner sauce add more milk.
For thicker sauce, add more cornstarch.
If you don't have cornstarch, substitute flour, but the product is gummier.
If you want, you can eliminate the flour and use 4T cornstarch.
No butter? No problem. Margarine is fine. Oil is fine. Sour cream is fine.
It's so easy and versatile.
