Instructies
Prepare Ingredients:
Measure out all the ingredients before starting, as the sauce comes together quickly.
Melt Butter:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Be careful not to let it brown.
Add Flour:
Once the butter is melted, add the flour.
Whisk continuously to create a smooth paste (roux).
Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour, but do not let it brown.
Slowly Add Milk:
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Simmer and Season:
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Allow it to simmer until it thickens, usually 5-10 minutes.
Season:
Season the sauce with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
Adjust the seasonings to taste.
Finish:
Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
It should coat the back of a spoon.
Serve or Use:
Use the Béchamel sauce immediately in your recipe or let it cool if preparing in advance.
If it thickens upon cooling, you can gently reheat it and add a bit more milk to reach the desired consistency.
