Just because a sauce is a French mother sauce doesn’t mean it is hard to make. In this recipe, I will show you how easy it is to make a traditional bechamel. I’ll even give you a secret tip on how to make a lump-free sauce. This classic white sauce is, by nature, a basic sauce. However, when you pair it with additional flavors, the bechamel sauce transforms into delicious derivative sauces like Mornay (cheese sauce), soubise (onion sauce), crème (cream sauce) and even sausage gravy. Bechamel can be used with vegetables, chicken, pork, veal, and pasta dishes. 🔥Great Gift Idea🎁 The Sauce and Gravy Channel Cookbook Links: 👉 Comfort Foods Made Simply - amazon affiliate link* - https://amzn.to/4iIpNIj 👉 Sauces Made Simply - amazon affiliate link* - https://amzn.to/3zz498I 👉 Sauces Made Simply – IngramSpark – (US paperback) - https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?VxcElqugpNWTTq520OjBvYOcgS1CU9DLN2mPiw19hZx Ingredients: - 2 cups or 500ml Milk - 2 tbsp or 30g Butter - 2 tbsp or 20g Flour - 1/2 Onion or 50g - 1 Bay Leaf - 1 Clove - 1/4 tsp White Pepper - 1/4 tsp Salt - 1/4 tsp Nutmeg 👉The Sauce and Gravy Channel - Amazon Store - https://www.amazon.com/shop/thesauceandgravychannel/list/3PQTK2KRIZLK4?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfthesauceandgravychannel_PVJDKXFXF1BJY4Z0SST8 _______________ Equipment Used in This Recipe (Amazon Affiliate Links) - John Boos Maple Top Work Table - https://amzn.to/3HI4rIF - Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop (cooktop) - https://amzn.to/35u7NSn - Maredash Mini Bowls 4 Inch Glass Bowls for Kitchen Prep - https://amzn.to/37lTdu2 - Matfer Bourgeat Whisk-Stainless Steel-10 inch, 10", Black - v - Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 1-1/2-Quart Sauce Pan - https://amzn.to/36Q2iOg - Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Strainer - https://amzn.to/3ts62gL - Wood Spoon Rest- https://amzn.to/3CkhG1e _______________ Shop at The Sauce and Gravy Channel YouTube Store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCing0z50kD3DA51TkLNo_Jw/store The Sauce and Gravy Channel specializes in sauces and gravy recipes.
