Creamy White Garlic Sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat with garlic.
Stir in flour and stir about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in milk stirring constantly. Mixture will thicken. Simmer about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and continuously stir the sauce until it has thickened.
If you feel it’s a little too thick, add splashes of milk in until you get the texture you are looking for.
