White sauce...add cheese ??

Melt some butter in pan (sorry not v good with measurements - about an inch thick slice) - when melted stir in a big tablespoon of plain flour. Cook for a min or two - then very gradually and stirring all the time add milk a little at a time(take off heat or turn heat right down when doing this). Keep stiring so no lumpy bits and keep on low heat - you will know when you have added enough milk as it will be the right thickness then stir in handful of grated cheese.

I use cornflour to do mine as I always got lumps with plain (but then I'm a bit useless), and I don't use butter at all.

I add cornflour to milk, add grated cheese and heat on medium while stirring.
If it goes too thick I add more milk, and if it's too thin I mix cornflour with milk and add to pot

take butter off the heat before stiring in the flour.
Stir in enough flour to make a roux like raw pastry (any thicker and more likely to get lumps, any thinner and will not thicken
add warm milk slowly bit by bit into get constituency of single cream. add as much milk again
return to very low heat
bring to the boil stiring often

Google "Delia's all in one white sauce" You don't need to mess around with all that melting palava. Then add a bit of mustard and grated cheese.

ooh yes, deffo cornflour, much easier, find recipe on packet

Do Delia's method here *never fails. Gets rid of all the pour in warmed up milk slowly palaver.

But you were much less lazy than I was and provided the link Tinker

Even easier: creme fraiche and grated cheese. Another of Delia's shortcuts. Works well in fish pie and moussaka

thanks everyone
