Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Be careful not to let it brown.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if desired.
6. Use the béchamel sauce immediately in your recipe, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before using.

Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
1. Melt butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Whisk in flour: Gradually whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste with the butter. This is called a roux.
3. Cook roux: Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the floury taste.
4. Gradually whisk in milk: Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Use a wire whisk to prevent lumps.
5. Bring to a boil: Continue whisking and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
6. Simmer and thicken: Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
7. Season: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
8. Strain if necessary: If you desire a perfectly smooth sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan.
9. Serve: Serve the béchamel sauce immediately or refrigerate for later use.
Tips:
- For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually whisk in more milk until desired consistency.
- If the sauce becomes too thin, whisk in a small amount of flour mixed with cold water (called a slurry) until desired consistency.
- Béchamel sauce can be used as a base for many other sauces, such as cheese sauce, Alfredo sauce, and Mornay sauce.
