Béchamel (White Sauce)

You will need exactly 20 minutes to prepare béchamel sauce, starting from the moment you melt butter and flour together, until it will be ready to be used for your chosen recipe.

You will obtain a perfect béchamel without any lumps at all if you will work at room temperature when adding the milk to the butter and flour mixture.

For a lasagne mould in A4 size you will need roughly ½ litre of béchamel.

The proportion is always the same and if I am using béchamel as for example for lasagne, I do not thicken it too much but prefer to cook it a bit less so it may “run” and “bind” more easily with the other ingredients while assembling the dish.

Ingredients for 1 (or half) a litre :

100 (50) gr. butter
100 (50) gr. all purpose flour
1 (500 ml.) litre of milk
salt&nutmeg
