Bechamel
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups warm milk
- Tiniest pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the butter, add the flour, and stir as if you're making a roux. Cook until the texture changes.
- 2
Whisk in the milk and nutmeg until it takes on the texture of very light mashed potatoes. At first, it doesn't look likely for that to happen, but then--as if by magic--it does.
