Classic Béchamel Sauce
Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for preparation.
2
Heat the butter in a substantial saucepan over an intermediate temperature. Combine flour and whisk it into the melted butter until a uniform mixture is formed. Continuously stir and cook until the flour transforms into a light, golden hue, approximately 7 minutes.
3
Elevate the heat to an elevated level and gradually whisk in milk until a smooth consistency is achieved by blending the roux. Introduce to a gentle boil, then decrease the heat to a low level and continue simmering until the flour has become soft and no longer retains a gritty sensation, ranging from 10 to 20 minutes.
4
Add salt and nutmeg according to taste.
5
Serve the dish hot, relishing the experience!
