Notes
Cream Sauce Troubleshooting:Not thick enough - simmer for longer to cook out some of the water content.Didn't thicken up at all - mix a heaping tablespoon of cornstarch with about 2 tablespoon water and stir into the sauce. Simmer until it is thickened.Too thick - add a little more milk until the consistency is to your liking.
