Béchamel Sauce
(Also known as Basic
White Sauce)
(4 cups)
Ingredients:
8 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
8 tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. White Pepper
4 cups Milk (your choice)
Grated Nutmeg (optional)
Directions:
In a 3 qt. sauce pan over medium heat melt butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2
minutes. This is to cook out the flour
taste. Add the salt, pepper and milk as
you continue to whisk until mixture starts to boil. It should be thickening at this point. Continue cooking for one minute and then
remove from heat. The nutmeg can be
added after removing from the heat. Just
whisk it into mixture.
Note: It
is easy to cut this recipe by 4 to make just one cup of sauce. From there you can make any amount of sauce
needed for a recipe or dish.

I was in Maryville,MO for 23 years before moving this past summer to Rochester, MN. I'm not sure if the Hy-Vee stores in Kansas City area mentioned in the left column of my blog page have copies of my cookbook or not. You can buy them by going to my website (again in the left column of the blog page) and buy it as a book or an e-book. I'm glad you like my blog and please spread the word to family and friends. Thanks.
