Preparation

Step 1

* Alternate Mushrooms: Black Chanterelle, Boletes, Fairy Ring Mushroom, Morels

If using dried mushrooms, quickly run water over the mushrooms in a colander to remove any sand just before cooking.

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and add the water. Add the mushrooms and cook slowly (for about 3 minutes) until the caps are soft. Add more water if needed. Add the half and half, salt, and white pepper. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Blend the water and flour together and slowly stir into the sauce. Cook and stir 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

This recipe yields 1 cup.
