Basic Bechamel (White) Sauce With Variations Including Au ... image

Total Time 10 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Yield 1 Cup

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, cream or 1 cup stock
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, cream or 1 cup stock
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, cream or 1 cup stock
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook over medium, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • NOTE - It is best to use warm to hot liquids when making sauce, which helps to prevent lumps. Also, constant stirring will help prevent the sauce from scorching on the bottom. If sauce turns lumpy, whisk vigorously with a wire whip or strain through a wire sieve before serving.
  • Stir in milk or other liquid. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Option: Reduce milk by the same amount you add white wine, sherry or brandy will create a lovely flavor.
  • CHEESE SAUCE - Once sauce is made, remove from heat and stir in 1/2 to 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese (or whatever flavor compliments what you are making -- better yet use 2 different cheeses), stirring until melted. To Au Gratin anything use this sauce mixed with potatoes, veggies, meats or whatever and heat through. Top with seasoned bread crumbs and more cheese finishing in the broiler.
  • CURRY SAUCE - Stir in 1/2 teaspoon curry powder with the flour.
  • DILL SAUCE - Stir in 1 teaspoon chopped fresh, or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed and a dash of ground nutmeg with the flour.
  • MORNAY SAUCE.
  • Add 1/2 cup grated cheese to 1 cup of hot sauce; stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Season with a little mustard or Worcestershire sauce to taste.
  • VELOUTE SAUCE.
  • Substitute chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable broth for the milk.
  • HERB SAUCE.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped herbs or 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs to 1 cup of hot sauce. Cook for a minute or two longer to get more flavor from the herbs.
  • CREAM SAUCE.
  • Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of heavy cream to the finished sauce. For an onion flavor, add an onion slice to the milk when heating; remove onion slice before adding milk to flour and butter mixture.
  • MUSTARD SAUCE.
  • Combine 1 teaspoon dry mustard to flour used in sauce. This sauce is especially good with fish and chicken.

WHITE SAUCE OR BECHAMEL SAUCE RECIPE RECIPE | EPICURIOUS
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.
