Just because a sauce is a French mother sauce doesn’t mean it is hard to make. In this recipe, I will show you how easy it is to make a traditional bechamel. I’ll even give you a secret tip on how to make a lump-free sauce. This classic white sauce is, by nature, a basic sauce. However, when you pair it with additional flavors, the bechamel sauce transforms into delicious derivative sauces like Mornay (cheese sauce), soubise (onion sauce), crème (cream sauce) and even sausage gravy. Bechamel can be used with vegetables, chicken, pork, veal, and pasta dishes.

If you pin the bay leaf to the onion with the clove I'll be much easier to fish it out. No sieve needed just keep whisking. Balloon whisk even better
Perfect I added thyme basil leaves crushed red peppers salt and pepper
How much ground clove would be appropriate, if any, to replace the single whole clove?
Great recipe. This time i nailed it after failing multiple times using other recipes! Clear concise and informative. Thank you
The BEST smoothest and easiest white sauce recipe!!!
Is it good with blue cheese?
I love this. No bs no maze, just straight up great content and an easy to follow recipe, subscribed for life fr 😂 thank you for your effort
Broooo i added 1 cup of flour what should i doooooooo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is gonna be sooooo yummy😊
Im not cooking that for 30mins
Awesome video for an amazing sauce! I usually use a few cloves and pin fresh bay leaves to the onion. And yes, nutmeg makes it so good!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
😮good
My grandmother used to make Dill Chicken with white sauce. She would add fresh dill to the white sauce and pour the sauce over skin on chicken breast in a pyrex dish and bake the chicken in the oven. She would serve the Dill Chicken over buttered egg noodles. I loved it so much. Whenever I try to replicate the white sauce, the sauce always breaks in the oven. It's as if the fat in the chicken breaks the sauce? How do I keep the white sauce nice and smooth in the oven while baking chicken. Thank you.
I looked up this recipe specifically so I can use it in place of ricotta cheese for lasagna. The authentic way of making lasagna in Italy.
I love you internet. Thank you for giving me a channel about sauces.
Can it be amde using rice flavour?
can this be frozen
?
how much gram of pasta should I make with rhus?
Which flours to adding you chef.
No nutmeg… Can i use garam masala instead?
I looked up if u can add media crema to pasta. It brought up this sauce. Then what kot my eye was some1s "my grama" made this with chicken. That chicken he spoke of is just milk flour salt pepper.
❤👍👍👍👍
Very tasty made it today!
I make it with paprika powder. I also sift the flour in while stiring, another way to eliminate clumps.
I'm sorry…. Is that a ducking cooktop that is also a scale?!?!?
Didn't have any cream on hand for chicken pasta, so I made bechamel for the first time thanks to your video. Turned out great!
Always use a wooden spoon
Couldn't get last powder name?
Yummy 😋
People always forget about nutmeg.
Just tried this method and it’s better than my old Béchamel.
1. I used more butter to keep the clumps out and aid in the flour cooking through more thoroughly.
2. I used more salt than I typically would. If you want to know why restaurant sauces taste so good, it’s the quality of ingredients and they love salt.
Nice because you mentioned the ingredient quantites.
It doesn't have any flavour
Your Tamil 😢
It looks like more than 2 table spoons of butter
You forgot Garlic
I will try this recipe….thank you sir…watching from RIYADH KSA….filipina ako
Way back many years ago the king of France had a personal chef he was from Italy when he made this sauce that he stumbled onto the French king David, the name
Myuba
My husband is Danish and after 34 years of marriage I have become a saucier. Happy I found you channel today.
Is that regular flour or cornstarch?
Thanks for your fantastic recipe,Sicilians use it for their Christmas crepes…manicotti stuffed with ricotta and some meat or with mozzarella and pecorino covered with a red sauce and bechamel, with fontina cheese and nutmeg.Yummy,love no lumps I always thought warm milk. Thanks again and happy holidays to you and your family!!
Trader Joe's only had gluten-free flour. My sauce is runny 😩 I should've went to another store for all puplrp flour.
