This cheese sauce recipe turns melted LANCEWOOD® Cheddar into something smooth and glossy, rich enough to feel indulgent without ever tipping into heavy. It is the sauce that makes plain vegetables, pasta or anything else on the plate genuinely worth finishing.

Expand Full Description

Glossy and full of the sharp, savoury depth that LANCEWOOD® Cheddar is loved for, this cheese sauce is smooth enough to coat the back of a spoon and thick enough to cling to everything it touches. Every mouthful tastes of properly melted cheese.

Spooned over steamed broccoli or cauliflower, it gives vegetables a place at the table that even the fussiest eaters will accept. Tossed through pasta, it becomes a comforting midweek dinner, and baked over a family favourite, it turns bubbling and golden at the edges. It is the sauce for the evenings when warm, familiar food matters most.

Ingredients:

60 ml butter
60 ml cake flour
625 ml milk
375 ml LANCEWOOD® Cheddar, grated
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Add the flour and cook over low heat for about 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the milk little by little. Stir well after each addition until smooth and free of lumps. Return to the heat and stir continuously until thick.
Add the cheese and seasoning and stir until the cheese has melted.
