Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams plain flour
- 300 milliliters milk
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.
Stir in the plain flour until well combined to create a smooth paste (roux).
Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Add a little milk at a time to help keep the mixture smooth.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, whisking well after each interval, until the sauce thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the caster sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely.
Add the brandy and vanilla extract to the sauce and stir well to combine.
Microwave the sauce on high for an additional 20-30 seconds, then whisk one final time to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Serve immediately over your favorite desserts or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
