Cheese Sauce
Tasty cheese sauce that can be used over noodles, in a casserole or as a soup base.
In a bowl, toss together the cheeses, cornstarch, mustard powder and paprika, until fully coated.
In a saucepan, melt butter then stir in flour until smooth. Whisk together over medium heat for about 30 seconds to ‘cook’ the flour. This helps to remove its raw gritty flavor and texture.
Slowly pour in the milk a bit at a time until its incorporated, then once the milk is warm, add in the cheese mixture, stirring until melted and thickened. If too thick, add a bit more milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Sorry! When we moved everything over to the new website some of the recipes didn’t get copied over correctly. I’ve updated the recipe and added some pictures. I used corn flour, but rice or sorghum would work just as well also. So glad to hear you’re enjoying our recipes and tips!
