Ready made white sauce

[paradoxicalInterruption]

I can make white sauce, but not reliably. Any nice ready made white sauces out there?

The whisk is your sauce's friend.

I bought the Lloyd grossman one the other week because sainsburys had it reduced to five pence a packet. It's in a packet shaped like microwave rice. It was actually really tasty.

Tescos frozen cheese sauce was brilliant, I can make sauce but it was part of a buy 2 get 3rd free thing so I gave it a go. Made cauliflower and broccoli bake with it, smooth, creamy, yum.

Home-made white sauce ingredients:

Milk/cream, flour, butter, salt and pepper

Colman's packet white sauce ingredients:

Wheat Flour, Potato Starch, Palm Fat, Salt, Skimmed Milk Powder, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Yeast Extract, Milk Proteins, Flavourings (contain Wheat, Barley), Maltodextrin, Lemon Juice Powder, Onion Powder, Nutmeg

Make your own and perfect your technique!

Delia's all in one white sauce is really easy. Works every time as long as you do the key thing, which is use milk that is really cold from the fridge.

I do the Lloyd gross man one. So easy when you are in a hurry and reduces the washing up. I use one for lasagna and buy when it is half price

I think I'll try the Lloyd grossman if I can find it. Also will try delia!

I was hoping somewhere might sell cartons of fresh sauce, like posh custard in a tub.

It can't go wrong if you don't stop stirring. And I am quite a mediocre cook.

Just melt butter,
add flour, stir,
slowly add milk, as you stir stir stir.
Bring to boil, season.

I suspect there must be a technical reason it can’t be done. Otherwise the chilled cabinet would be full of it – think of the profit margin that could be made on something that is basically flour and milk.

Second Delia's. It's foolproof. No fannying about slowing adding milk.
