Microwave White Or Cheese Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 ounce butter
1 ounce cornflour
1/2 pint milk
salt
pepper

Preparation

Melt butter in microwave oven.
Stir in corn flour well.
Add the milk and stir.
Cook in the microwave for 4 to 6 minutes, taking out 1/2 way to give a good stir or whisk for 30 seconds.
Put back in for remainder of cooking time.
Ready when starting to bubble up the side of the container; it should be thick and creamy. (If too thick, stir in more milk a little at a time).
When ready add salt and pepper to taste.
You now have basic white sauce.
For cheese sauce, stir in 4 ounces of grated cheese when the sauce comes out of the microwave. 1/2 teaspoon mustard added at this stage will enhance the flavour but is optional.
