Ingredients
- 1/3 c. butter or margarine
- 1/2 medium size sliced onion, minced
- 1/3 c. flour
- 3 c. hot milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- dash of red pepper
- sprigs of parsley (optional)
- dash of nutmeg
Method
- Melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan.
- Add onion and cook slowly until light brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add flour and blend until the flour makes a smooth paste with the onion minces in it.
- Add milk and other seasonings and cook, stirring constantly and briskly, until the sauce is thick and smooth. Then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes altogether.
- Strain.
- If the sauce isn't to be used immediately, stir occasionally to keep a crust from forming on the top.
