1/ Warm the milk in a small pot or in the microwave for about one minute.
2/ Melt the butter in a pot.
3/ Add the flour and mix with a whisk for 4 to 5 minutes over medium heat.
4/ Gradually add the milk while mixing. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg along the way, and continue mixing until it comes to a boil.
5/ Lower the heat, and once it thickens, turn off the heat and stir for about 2 minutes.
★ A key tip is to warm the milk beforehand! This will help prevent lumps and result in a smoother finish.
★ This recipe uses 500 ml of milk for a lighter sauce, but if you prefer a thicker consistency, you can reduce the milk to 400 ml.
★ We also have a recipe for lasagna with Bolognese and Béchamel sauce that uses this Béchamel sauce. Be sure to give it a try!
