A Healthy White Sauce sounds like a bit of an oxymoron but through trial and error I have come up with this method for an easy White Sauce which you can consume without guilt.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons whole wheat flour (ata)
1 cup water
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of pepper powder
Salt to taste.
2- 3 tablespoons cream (optional)
1/2 cup cheese (optional)

Directions:

Blend 1 cup water with the flour in a pan with a hand whisk.

Simmer on low flame, add the milk and butter when it starts thickening, while whisking simultaneously.
