Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour until smooth. Continue stirring as the flour cooks to a light, golden, sandy color, about 7 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and slowly whisk in milk until thickened by the roux. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and continue simmering until the flour has softened and not longer tastes gritty, 10 to 20 minutes, then season with salt and nutmeg.

I've been making this sauce for years and it always turns out perfect. I've never had any problems with it being too thick or lumpy.

I made this sauce for the first time last night and it was a disaster! The sauce was too thick and lumpy. I don't know what I did wrong.

This is a great basic bechamel sauce recipe. I like to add a little bit of grated cheese to mine for extra flavor.

I've made this sauce several times now and it always turns out great. I love that it's so versatile - I've used it for lasagna, macaroni and cheese, and even as a dipping sauce for vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of bechamel sauce, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too heavy or greasy.
