Champion Cheese Sauce
Everyone loves cheese sauce. We know that all mums and grannies have handed down their
recipes but this is the Jersey and Guernsey way of doing things. We think you’ll like it - you can add loads of flavour to fish, broccoli, cauliflower and ham.
25g Jersey or Guernsey butter
25g plain flour
600ml Jersey or Guernsey milk
110g cheese made from Jersey or Guernsey milk
1 teaspoon mustard powder
A pinch of ground nutmeg
A pinch of cayenne pepper
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat
- Stir in the flour and cook gently for 2 or 3 minutes
- Add the mustard powder
- Remove from the heat and gradually add the milk – make sure you stir throughout to avoid lumps
- Bring to the boil, still stirring, and then leave to simmer for 5 minutes
- When smooth and creamy, add the grated cheese a little at a time, until it has melted – top tip:
if it looks too thick just add a little more milk
- Season to taste with the nutmeg and cayenne pepper
