White Sauce (béchamel sauce)

Nadine Schweitzer @deanyeatsworld

I was taught this sauce by my sister-in-law many years ago, as béchamel is an important basis of many dishes, especially in French & Italian cuisine.

It does require time and patience to make properly, as it can end up getting a little messy. The flour could splatter out of the pot. The milk can splash and create a mess, if being too vigorous with the stirring.

I hope you will find this helpful and useful as its a quick and simple recipe to make, and better than shop bought!
