Authentic, Creamy Béchamel Sauce Recipe
Report
Bechamel sauce is an essential ingredient for Italian cooking borrowed from the French! It is the number one way to get your Italian lasagna just perfect and can be used as a secret binding sauce for many other dishes including baked pasta and savoury crepes. It is subtle in flavour but adds the perfect texture – just make sure it’s not lumpy!

Instructions
Making delicious, authentic béchamel sauce:
- Place a small saucepan on the stove at low heat.
- Add butter and let it slowly, gently melt.
- Begin adding flour to the melted butter and whisk really well until the flour disappears and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Add 1/4 of the milk to the mixture. Stir very gently on medium-low heat.
- As the cream becomes dry, add more milk and continue to stir.
- When the sauce has achieved your desired thickness, you can turn off the heat and stop stirring.
