A sincere drooling white fantasy.
Made with white ingredients alone is an exquisite delicacy .As a kid when mom cooked this i disliked it, but not any more!!

- Now switch off the flame and wait for it to come to room temperature. Now if there are any lumps in the flour keep stirring , it will break as it cools .When you make sure there are no lumps ,then slowly start adding milk( should not be hot ) to it. Nicely stir the mixture ,making sure you find no lumps.
