Steps:
- In a stove-top pot melt butter.
- Add flour and whisk well until a thick creamy paste forms. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in about ⅓ cup of milk. Continue whisking energetically breaking all the lumps. Make sure to scrape well the bottom and sides of the pot.
- Once you have reached a smooth consistency add a little more milk. Continue adding milk in small portions until you have used up all the milk.
- Increase the heat a little and continue whisking and cooking the sauce.
- Once it starts to thicken, cook it for another 20-30 seconds and turn off the heat.
- Continue to whisk. You'll notice Bechamel Sauce will continue to thicken even with the heat off.
- Once it reached desired consistency, season it with nutmeg and salt to taste or other seasonings (see suggestions above the recipe).
- Give another good stir.
- If you're not planning to use the sauce immediately see my tips above how to store it to prevent a skin from forming.
BéCHAMEL SAUCE (BESCIAMELLA) | HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN WHITE SAUCE
Béchamel sauce (Besciamella) is a smooth, white sauce made with just 3 ingredients: flour, milk, and butter. It's also known as White Sauce or Mother Sauce because many sauces are made with Béchamel as a base, such as Mornay Sauce, which is a somewhat richer version. The preparation of Bechamel Sauce consists in adding milk to a white roux, a cooked mixture made with equal quantities of butter and flour. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg then cook for about 15 minutes so that the sauce thickens.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Now add the flour. Mix quickly with a whisk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and without lumps.
- heat the milk, without bringing to a boil. Pour the milk slowly over the roux, while stirring vigorously with a whisk to prevent the formation of lumps. When the milk is completely poured over the roux sauce, put the saucepan back on low heat. Keep mixing constantly, until you have a fairly thick consistency (about 10/15 minutes). The sauce is ready when it sticks to the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add a pinch of fine salt and grated nutmeg to taste. For an even richer flavor, add a little Parmigiano reggiano cheese (optional). Italian béchamel sauce is ready to use.
