bechamel sauce

Bechamel sauce is most of my favourite food's main ingredient. This is the simplest version but when you have this recipe nailed, feel free to start playing around. :-)

INGREDIENTS:

60g butter

60g flour

750ml milk

1 tsp salt

freshly ground pepper

freshly ground nutmeg

METHOD:

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, remove it from the heat and add the flour in small portions. As it starts to look like glue, add some milk, and then some flour again…  go on until you get a smooth result. Then stir in the rest of the milk. Season it to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

2. Bring the mixture to the boil stirring continuously, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

You can add some grated cheese/parmesan, egg or sour cream to make your sauce tastier.
