Buttermilk White Sauce

By Anne Marie

Used for Green Bean Casserole.
Measure the flour as you would for baking by lightly spooning it into a measuring cup and leveling with the back of a knife. this will help you avoid a thick, pastelike sauce. Don't try to add both milk and buttermilk at one time - the sauce will curdle.
Sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead. Prepare recipe as directed; cover and chill in an airtight container. Whisk in 2 Tbsp milk and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, stirring at 30 second intervals.

• 1/3 cup all purpose flour
