Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon white pepper, or to taste
1 pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

02:55 - Quick recap Classic Bchamel Sauce recipe

1 00:39 - Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add in flour and increase heat to medium. Whisk together and let cook for 2 minutes.

2 01:14 - Slowly pour in milk, whisking to combine.

3 01:23 - Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly while it heats. Just as it comes to a simmer, it will thicken up and should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4 01:49 - Season by stirring in nutmeg, salt and white pepper to taste. Serve hot.


Recipe Notes:
02:11 - Cheesy bechamel sauce: make the sauce as directed and then finish by stirring in 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted.

01:36 - Adjusting thickness: the recipe as written makes a medium-thick sauce that is perfect for general use like coating pasta. For a thin white sauce, reduce the butter and flour both to 2 tablespoons. For a super thick white sauce use up to 1/2 cup each of flour and butter.
