White sauce can be used as a base for many other sauces. I made this and added a package of Old El Paso toco seasoning. It was a nice warm dip for chips.

I like making white sauce with cheese and adding spätzle (German egg dumplings)

Cheese Sauce: Stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard with the flour. After boiling and stirring sauce 1 minute, stir in 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 ounces) until melted. Serve with eggs and vegetables or over toast for Welsh rabbit. About 1 1/3 cups sauce.
