WHITE SAUCE OR BECHAMEL SAUCE RECIPE RECIPE | EPICURIOUS



White Sauce or Bechamel Sauce Recipe Recipe | Epicurious image

This used to be one of the first lessons in home economics classes; invariably white and pasty, it coated many a bland dish. When well made, however, it has a proper place in homey, creamed dishes, often making leftovers stretch or giving cooked foods new life. And it is important as a base for soufflés. The French term for this medium-thick white sauce is béchamel. The foolproof way to attain a perfectly smooth sauce is to have the milk hot when added to the butter and flour. It uses an extra pot, but as you become more proficient, this cautionary measure may not be necessary.

Provided by Marion Cunningham

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1¼ cups milk, heated
Salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubbles a bit, but don't let it brown — about 2 minutes. Add the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat, and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat. To cool this sauce for later use, cover it with wax paper or pour a film of milk over it to prevent a skin from forming.
  • To turn your white sauce into cheese sauce, stir in ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking, along with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Warm the milk on low heat just until little bubbles begin to form at the edges. Then remove from heat.

Béchamel sauce recipe - BBC Food image

Delia' shows you how to make béchamel sauce, using a mixture of butter and flour called a roux. A béchamel sauce is one of the French "mother sauces" and is a really good one to learn. Each serving provides 640 kcal, 16g protein, 34g carbohydrates (of which 19g sugars), 48g fat (of which 31g saturates), 1g fibre and 2.2g salt.

Provided by Delia Smith

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield Makes 15fl oz/425ml

Number Of Ingredients 9

425ml/15fl oz milk
a few parsley stalks
1 bay leaf
1 blade of mace or a pinch of powdered mace (optional)
10 whole black peppercorns
1 slice onion, 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick
40g/1½oz butter
20g/¾oz plain flour
salt and freshly milled black pepper

Steps:

  • First place the milk in a small saucepan and add the parsley stalks, bay leaf, mace (if using), peppercorns and onion. Then place it over a low heat and let it come very slowly up to simmering point, which will take approximately 5 minutes. Then remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the milk into a jug, discarding the flavourings.
  • All this can be done ahead of time, but when you want to make the sauce, use the same washed pan and place it over a gentle heat. Begin by melting the butter gently - don't over-heat it or let it brown, as this will affect the colour and flavour of the sauce. As soon as the butter melts, add the flour and, over a medium heat and using a small pointed wooden spoon, stir quite vigorously to make a smooth, glossy paste. Now begin adding the infused milk a little at a time - about 1fl oz/25ml first of all and stir again vigorously. Then, when this milk is incorporated, add the next amount and continue incorporating each bit of liquid before you add the next. When about half the milk is in, switch to a balloon whisk and start adding large amounts of milk, but always whisking briskly. Your reward will be a smooth, glossy, creamy sauce.
  • Now turn the heat down to its lowest setting and let the sauce cook for 5 minutes, whisking from time to time. While that's happening, taste and season with salt and freshly milled black pepper. If you wish to keep the sauce warm, all you do is pour it into a warmed jug and cover the surface with clingfilm to stop a skin from forming, then place the jug in a pan of barely simmering water.
