A few quick notes
1. Mix the thickener as directed
The thickening step has its own little bit of preparation. Follow the mixing step before adding it, then use the consistency check in the method as you finish.
2. Set out the first ingredients
Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.
3. Have the sauce liquid measured
Measure the liquid before starting this sauce step. That makes it easier to follow the stirring or whisking sequence while the flour mixture is in the pan.
