Bechamel Sauce
Report
Creamy Bechamel Sauce made easy with just a handful of kitchen staple ingredients. Whip this staple sauce up in under 10 minutes and add it to a variety of dishes!
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour all purpose
- 2 cups milk
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Whisk ingredients: In a saucepan melt the butter and add the flour. With a whisk, whisk in the flour. Keep whisking for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the rest of ingredients: Add the milk, nutmeg and salt and whisk everything together. Cook for another 5 minutes and whisk as necessary.
Notes
- You can store your bechamel sauce in an airtight container or jar for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
- Cool the leftovers and place a piece of plastic saran wrap directly in contact with the surface of the sauce prior to refrigerating it! This will ensure that your bechamel won't form a skin and will also help slow down oxidation!
