ELEGANT WHITE SAUCE

Hi,
Everybody makes a white sauce at home.......its a staple requirement for continental cuisine but you can make a really elegant white sauce with a little bit of careful planning. Ingredients required : 1/4 litre milk (room temperature); 1 small onion;
1 small stick cinnamon; 5 cloves ; 1/4 litre veg or meat stock; 2 tablespoons cornflour;
salt & pepper to taste; 1 tablespoon butter (or oil); 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley.
Method
Put all the ingredients in a pan and keep for 15 min.Add in the cornflour and mix. Next put on a slow fire and cook....stirring constantly......till the mixture turns thick.
If using a roue fry the flour in a little butter till the flour turns a light golden brown, add the milk and cook. Strain the liquid of all the seasonings .. this applies to both the methods.
Add the chopped parsley.
FOR A RICHER SAUCE ADD SOME GRATED CHEESE AT THIS STAGE.
THIS SAUCE CAN BE USED AS A BASE FOR ANY BAKED DISH.
