White Sauce - without white flour?

allurs, Sep 13, 6:49am
Hi guys,

Just wondering, does anyone have an idea of how to make a white sauce without using white flour & butter?!
I'm allergic to it, but after seeing a thread on here I'm craving for a fish pie!!!

Oh what 2 do!?

There is a lovely smoked fish pie recipe on the "low carb cooking in style" web site.The sauce does not use flour and it is much tastier than the usual kind.

Can you have milk? If so you could try this one I found through google -

White Sauce

2 Cups Milk 2 Tablespoons Butter

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch Salt and Pepper to Taste

Rub the butter and cornstarch together and add the cold milk. Place over a moderate fire and stir constantly till it boils; cook thoroughly. This sauce may be used for vegetables. For fish, add hard-boiled eggs, either chopped or sliced.

I ALWAYS use cornflour - it is actually gluten free too.Always gives a lovely velvety consistency to sauces & gravies.Only ever use white flour if I am out of cornflour, make sure you cook it out thoroughly.
