for one cup of white sauce, start with two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan!. Add one and a half tablespoons flour and whisk consistently until the flour begins to cook and no longer have that floury smell!.!.!.!.it sort of smells nutty when it's ready for the liquid (about 2 min)!. The best kind of milk for a white sauce is whole milk because it gives the greatest amount of flavor, but you can very well use skim or 2% milkfat milk, but a chef's trick is to pour the milk in (1 cup in this recipe) at room temperature!. No cooler, no warmer!. Whisk in the milk and simmer for about 10 minutes!. After that, add a little less than a tsp salf and a pinch of nutmeg!. Nutmeg's that little extra something that makes everyone say, "Hey, what's in this sauce!? It's great!" Hopefully this will have a little more flavor for you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The white sauce I prefer is made with cornstarch instead of flour!. This eliminates the "floury" taste you mentioned!. This recipe makes one cup---just multiply it for however much more you need!. One cup per person may be a little more than you need (depends on what you're using it for) but it's better to have too much than not enough!. Good luck!

Use whole milk and real butter for better tasting foods!. For white sauce or thicker gravy, get small amounts of cooking oil hot, stir in small amounts of flour, salt and blk!. pepper!. When it gets bubbly hot and begins to thicken, slowly stir in whole milk!. Less milk, the thicker it is, more milk, thinner it is!. Cook on med!. heat until thickens like you want it!. If you want other flavors, use chicken broth, bouillon cubes and more water and less milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Shababe O gave you a good recipe,just double it for 8 people,or triple it, just depends on what it is being put on!.
The only thing that would make it better would be some shredded onion,about a 1/2 tsp!. would be enough cooked with the oil and flour!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Start by melting 2 tbsp butter, add 2 tbsp flour, to make roux!.
Don't get it too hot or the colour will turn yellow/brown!.
Gradually add whole milk stirring to dissolve the roux!.

First though mix some cornstarch and a wee bit of hot water together and add to the milk, as you gradually ease the flour in!.!.this keeps out the LUMPS!!!!!
