Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt, if desired
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons dry sherry

Steps:

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots and paprika. Cook, stirring, until shallots are wilted. Sprinkle the mixture with flour and stir with a wire whisk.
Add the milk, stirring vigorously with the whisk. Add the cream, salt and pepper to taste. Strain the sauce through a sieve, preferably of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois. Press with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible from the shallots. Reheat and add the sherry.
