1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups low-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1.
Place the flour and margarine in a microwave-safe bowl (2 1/2 liter or 2 1/2 quart). Cover with a vented microwave lid and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 40 - 60 seconds to melt margarine.
2.
Take out and stir with a wire whisk until it becomes pasty. Add 1/2 cup milk and stir more until it becomes creamy. Add remaining milk. Cover and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 2 minutes. Take out, add salt and pepper, cover and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 2 more minutes. Stir until it becomes smooth and creamy <White Sauce>.
