Cómo preparar Basic White Sauce Bechamel Sauce
- Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until it forms small bubbles.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) of all-purpose flour until a smooth paste (roux) forms. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.
- In a separate saucepan, gently heat 2 cups (473ml) of milk until warm. Add any desired flavorings (e.g., herbs, spices) at this stage.
- Gradually whisk the warm milk into the roux, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking constantly.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother sauce (optional).
- Your Bechamel is ready! Use it as a base for countless recipes, or enjoy it as is.
