Comment préparer 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.
