Gentle heat all but 50ml (2floz) of milk in a non-stick saucepan.  Add the onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, salt and pepper.  Cover the pan simmer for 5 minutes.  Turn off the heat and leave the milk to stand with a lid on for a further 30 minutes or until it is time to thicken and serve the sauce.

Mix the remaining milk with the cornflour, and when almost time to serve, strain the infused milk, add the cornflour mixture  and reheat slowly, stirring continuously, until the mixture comes to the boil.  Add the chopped parsley. If the sauce begins to thicken too quickly, remove from the heat and stir very fast to mix well.  Cook for 3-4 minutes and serve immediately.
