Name: White Sauce/bechamel (#10)
Ingredients: 3 tb Butter; 3 tb Flour; 2 c Milk; 1/2 ts Salt; x Freshly ground black pepper

The work of discipling occurs in the present, but it has its eyes set on the Last Day. It requires long-term thinking. It requires an investor’s mentality, knowing that the return is eternal. And the investment occurs through God’s Word. We must proclaim God’s Word is the seed that ultimately bears fruit, even if we don’t see it in the short term…trust that God’s Word does not return void. You will see the harvest later.

INGREDIENTS

3	tb	Butter
3	tb	Flour
2	c	Milk
1/2	ts	Salt
	x	Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter* over low heat, until foamy. With
a wooden spoon, stir in the flour until a thick paste forms. This is called
a "roux."
2.  Whisk in the milk until smooth.  Stirring occasionally, cook 10 to 12
minutes, until simmering, thick, and smooth.  Simmer 2 minutes to "cook
out" the flour taste.
3.  Season with the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
TIP:  * If you brown the butter slightly after it has melted (don't burn
it!), it will add a nutty flavor to the sauce.
