This is a very good question ( about Estonians and sauces 🙂 ). Typical estonian using for sauce just sour cream.
Mixing sour cream with salt and pepper and some herbs and cold sauce is ready 🙂
But “advanced ” families making regular hot sauce ( stock, cream, butter and flour) , of course… 🙂 ( but it takes time and it is complicated…, so…….)
