A classic French sauce made from just a few simple ingredients.
Bechamel sauce is versatile. It can be used in different ways: grease lasagna sheets, add to pasta and casseroles, serve with fish, vegetables and meat.
What do you need
Sauce ingredients are sure to be found in every kitchen:
- 50 g butter;
- 50 g flour;
- 500 ml of milk;
- a pinch of salt;
- a pinch of ground nutmeg.
Nutmeg gives the sauce an exquisite flavor. Instead or together with it, you can add ordinary ground black pepper.
Change the amount of ingredients in accordance with the proportions.
How to make béchamel sauce
In a saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Gradually add the sifted flour, stirring constantly with a whisk.
As a result, you should get a homogeneous mass.
Pour in the cold milk gradually, stirring continuously with a whisk. Failure to do this will result in lumps in the sauce. The mass should become homogeneous.
Boil the sauce for another 2-3 minutes and season with spices.
