Ingredients

• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 50 grams plain flour
• 300 milliliters milk
• 50 grams caster sugar
• 2 tablespoons brandy
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Place the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.

Step 2

Stir in the plain flour until well combined to create a smooth paste (roux).

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Add a little milk at a time to help keep the mixture smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the caster sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely.

Step 6

Add the brandy and vanilla extract to the sauce and stir well to combine.

Step 7

Microwave the sauce on high for an additional 20-30 seconds, then whisk one final time to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 8

Serve immediately over your favorite desserts or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
