Notes
- Cook over a low heat. This prevents the sauces from burning.
- Add the liquid in slowly. You can adjust the consistency your liking by pouring in a little of the water or stock at a time while stirring. Stop when you've found the perfect balance.
- Stir constantly. The sauces will heat up and bubble quickly, so it's important to stir to remove the clumps and keep everything smooth.
- We like to get smooth peanut butter for this dip, but you can also go for the crunchy version to get more texture.
