Bechamel Sauce (2007x5)

Exibido em:: Jan 28, 2007

This is one of the five “Mother Sauces.” In traditional culinary training, students first master these mother sauces and then use them to create literally hundreds of variations. Béchamel is the basic “white sauce” and is used in many popular dishes. I’ll admit, this is not the most thrilling lesson ever, but it is an important one as far as building a solid foundation of classic culinary skills. Ingredients: 1 quart milk 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) 1/2 cup flour salt and cayenne pepper to taste 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg 4 springs fresh thyme
