Bechamel Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 quart milk
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
Directions
- Begin by melting the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat.
- Once the butter is fully melted and begins to bubble, slowly whisk in the flour to form a roux.
- Cook the roux for 2 to 3 minutes while whisking continuously.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, whisking until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Season with salt and freshly grated nutmeg to taste, then remove from heat and use as desired.
