Question

cheater C. · Answer

We learned the 2/2/1 ratio in home ec class in the 1970s for a medium white sauce.  2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour to 1 cup milk.  Melt the butter, stir in flour, cook for a minute, add the milk. Stir and cook until bubbly and thickened.  Remove from heat.  Add cheese and seasonings and stir until melted and blended.   For example 1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar.  Salt and pepper, dash of hot pepper sauce, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce.  Did anyone else learn this in home ec?
