White Sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy medium saucepan.
2. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring, for about three minutes until smooth and bubbling but not browned. The paste should have the texture of wet sand. 3 Whisk in the milk all at once, and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, until the mixture begins to thicken.
3. Turn the heat to very low, and simmer, stirring often with a whisk and scraping the bottom and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and lost its raw flour taste.
4. Strain while hot into a heatproof bowl or a Pyrex measuring cup.
