This is a quick and easy bechamel sauce. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 quart milk |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour until smooth. Continue stirring as the flour cooks to a light, golden, sandy color, about 7 minutes.
2. Increase heat to medium-high and slowly whisk in milk until thickened by the roux. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and continue simmering until the flour has softened and not longer tastes gritty, 10 to 20 minutes, then season with salt and nutmeg.
