White Parsley Sauce

Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 8 minutes INGREDIENTS 25g butter 25g plain flour 650ml milk salt and white pepper 2 TBSP parsley leaves (finely chopped) INSTRUCTIONS Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour (roux) and cook for 1-2 minutes (the roux should be a wet-paste consistency). Take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk small batches at a time, beating the mixture constantly to form a sauce. Once all of the milk is added return to the hob and bring to the boil. If you feel your sauce needs to be thickened, simply mix 1 TSP cornflour and 1 TSP water in a glass and stir, then pour this into your sauce as it simmers. Stir constantly. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and white pepper. Stir in the parsley and serve.
