White sauce - Recipes for Real Life
Published
Fuss-free white sauce. This sums up my favourite style of cooking: throw everything into one pot and stir!
Makes about 550ml/2 cups
Ingredients
- 40g/1 1/2 oz Lucy Bee coconut oil
- 40g/1/3 cup gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour
- 500ml/2 cups plus 1 tbsp milk
Method
Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Over a medium heat, use a balloon whisk to whisk continuously for about 8 minutes, when the sauce will start to thicken. Continue cooking and whisking for a further 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Tips and notes
You can use lactose-free milk or even almond milk to make a lactose-free version of this sauce.

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking
Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.
These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
