Basic White Sauce (sauce Bã.chamel)

So the Cross does not merely tell us that God forgives, it tells us that that is God’s way of making forgiveness possible. It is the way in which we understand how God forgives. I will go further: How can God forgive and still remain God? – That is the question. The Cross is the vindication of God. The Cross is the vindication of the character of God. The Cross not only shows the love of God more gloriously than anything else, it shows His righteousness, His justice, His holiness, and all the glory of His eternal attributes. They are all to be seen shining together there. If you do not see them all you have not seen the Cross.

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook over
low heat for 3 minutes. (This is called a roux.) 2. Add the milk,
whisking constantly, and continue whisking until the sauce comes to a
boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly
thickened, stirring occasionally. 3. When the sauce is of the desired
consistency, strain it and add the seasonings to taste.  THICKER SAUCE:
Increase the butter and flour by 1 or 2 tablespoons  but do not change
the amount of milk.  MAKE IT LIGHT: Use a butter substitute and nonfat
milk instead of the  butter and whole milk.  MAKE IT AHEAD: Basic White
Sauce may be stored in the refrigerator  for 3 days or in the freezer
for up to one month.  Recipe by: HomeChef School  Posted to MC-Recipe
