1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour 1/2 c. skim milk, warmed 1/4 c. half and half 1/4 c. maple syrup Melt the butter in a pot, and add the flour. Mix until combined, then add the warm skim milk, turning the heat down to low once thickened. Add the cream and maple syrup, and continue to stir until warmed through and about the consistency of pudding. Don't bring to a hard boil, or the cream may curdle. Shown with Brown Sugar and Apple Marinaded Salmon. I remember eating at a Greek restaurant once where I had rice as a side dish. It was covered with a delectable cheesy sauce. This was my first attempt to duplicate. I think it turned out well!
The basic recipe was found here, and it worked the very first time I tried it. : 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 1 1/4 c. milk, heated 1/4 c.feta cheese 1/8 tsp nutmeg 1 stem of fresh dill fresh pepper Heat the milk in the microwave (I used a glass measuring cup) for 1.5 minutes. While that is happening, melt the butter on low. Add the flour, turn the heat to medium. and cook for about 2 minutes, until a nice paste is formed and very warm. Add the heated milk and stir, turning the heat closer to high. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling. Turn off the heat and mix in the cheese and nutmeg, stirring until melted. Remove from heat, and add the dill -I used scissors to cut fresh dill over the pot. I used 2 or 3 turns of the pepper mill to add fresh pepper to the sauce. Stir, and enjoy. Shown served over rice with Brown Sugar and Soy Salmon. |
