I watched a TV programme a long time ago where the cook showed how to make béchamel sauce. I thought it looked really difficult...and it was!
So I made a simpler version of the recipe. This is now how we always make it at home.

It's easiest to use a non-stick frying pan.
You only need to mix quickly during Step 3. After that, you just need to stir slowly, but don't take any breaks. Recipe by Donpintan

Steps

1

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter and flour.
2

While mixing with a wooden spatula, dissolve the flour in the butter. Keep stirring and allow the flour to cook for about 1.5 minutes. Do this over low-medium heat and be careful that the mixture doesn't burn.
3

Turn the heat down to low, then add 50 ml milk. Mix the milk in very quickly and thoroughly then add 50 ml of milk 3 more times, while continuously mixing.
4

Turn the heat back up to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiled, the sauce should start to thicken. At this point, add 100 ml of milk at a time in two batches to the mixture and continue to stir slowly without stopping.
5

Lastly, add the cream and bring to a boil once more.
6

It's ready It should be smooth without any lumps.
