Share:
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoon AP flour (plain)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Chop the butter into cubes, about the size of dice.
- Pour the milk into a heavy bottomed pan and add the butter and flour.
- Place the pan over a medium heat and stir constantly with a ballon whisk.
- As the milk becomes hot, the butter starts to melt and will absorb the flour.
- Keep stirring and you will feel the mixture change.
- Once it starts to thicken, use a small wooden spoon to stir the sauce, ensuring you get to the very edges of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let the sauce cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Remove the pan from the heat and check your sauce for seasoning.
Notes
- You can make your béchamel sauce in advance. It will keep in the fridge for up to two days. use a piece of cling film and lay it directly over the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Then refrigerate until needed. To re-heat, place a pan on the lowest heat and cook slowly stirring well with a wooden spoon.
