Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 liter of cold milk
  • 3 tablespoons of wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Nutmeg (optional)

How to prepare Bechamel sauce:

  1. In a medium saucepan, place the butter and heat over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely, but do not let it begin to brown.
  2. Add the flour to the melted butter and mix well with a wooden spoon or wire whisk.
  3. Cook the mixture for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux. This helps remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually add the cold milk to the butter and flour mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. It is important that the milk is cold to help prevent the sauce from curdling.
  5. Continue stirring the sauce over medium heat until it begins to boil and thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Stirring constantly helps to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  6. When the sauce reaches the desired consistency, add salt and a little grated nutmeg to taste. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
  7. Remove the sauce from the heat and use immediately.

Bechamel sauce can be served with pasta, lasagna, gratins or any other dish you like. Now that you have learned this easy and delicious Bechamel sauce recipe, you can add a special touch to your meals!
