White Sauce - Easter Breakfast

Since Easter is tomorrow, it's only appropriate to have the Easter breakfast at the top of the list... another favorite growing up. To make this one, just make the white sauce described below. Then, take your hard-boiled eggs from easter and peal them. Have each person cut up their egg and shred up a peice of buttered toast onto their plates. Then just pour on the whit sauce goodness overtop. It's a good way to get rid of your easter eggs and it tastes super good.

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
milk
salt and pepper

1. Melt butter in skillet.
2. Whip in flour with butter and cook until hot and bubbly, or until light brown.
3. Stir in milk and continue whipping.
4. When the sauce has thickened and is boiling, add salt and pepper to taste.

you were thinking the same things I was . . . but really. A 1/2 cup of butter?

Brandon, the more butter and flour you add the more it makes. My family is small so I use about 2 TBSP of butter and flour.

Also, this morning we only had real, organic, whipped butter . . . from the health store and it didn't work very well. Use the cheap stuff.

IT WORKED!!!

Although I really didn't anticipate like a 20:1 milk to flour/butter mixture ratio - it ended up a little on the thick side.

Audrey claims this was simply and ingenious method for leslie to get rid of 50 easter eggs with minimal additional ingredients . . . but it's tasty
