Cheese Sauce

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons corn flour

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon mustard

1 cup milk

1 cup water

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Method: Melt the butter or margarine in a medium sized plan over low heat. Stir in the flour and the corn flour a little at a time until it has been incorporated. Add the salt, cayenne pepper and mustard in that order and stir well. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring frequently, followed by the water. When a thick consistency is reached, turn down the heat and add cheese. Stir briskly until all the cheese has melted. Remove from heat. Serves 4
