Classic Bechamel Sauce

Ingredients:

5 tbsp butter

4 tbsp Flour

4 cups milk

2 tsp salt

½ tsp Ground Nutmeg

Preparation:

1) In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add the flour and incorporate until smooth. Cook over medium heat  until the mixture takes a light sand color, about 6 or 7 minutes.

2) Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan until just about to boil. Add the hot milk to the butter mixture one cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps of flour. Once boiling, cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Then remove from heat and season with salt and nutmeg.
