Tip:
– The white sauce can be tricky to cook. Especially while you whisk the butter and flour. Don’t panic – keep an eye on the pan and keep stirring at all times.
-If you would like a lovely crispy golden brown topping. Turn the heat up a little for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Make sure you keep an eye on the oven at all times though.
