NIGHT & DAY CAFE

INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon flour 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups heavy whipping cream or heavy cream 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon chicken base 1 whole jalapeño pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon jalapeño juice 2 ounces Jack or cheddar cheese

RECIPE The secret to a great white sauce is in the consistency with constant stirring while it heats. 1. Combine milk and flour in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Set aside. 2. In a pot, add heavy cream, sour cream, jalapeño juice, jalapeños, cheese and chicken base over medium heat. Stir until ingredients come to a boil. 3. Lower heat and add flour-milk mixture. Continue to stir until a thick sauce is formed. It’s important to not stop stirring until sauce is ready or it will develop clumps.
