Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 100g (little more than 3/4 cp) all purpose flour
  • 1 liter (4 cps) whole milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp (or to taste) ground nutmeg
  • generous salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • In a medium pot over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add flour and whisk until no dry patches remain.
  • Add milk and seasonings.
  • Whisk constantly to prevent lumps and thicken sauce.
  • Sauce is ready when you lift the whisk and it leaves a thick but still viscous trail. This is often referred to as "ribbon stage".
  • Use to layer lasagna or as a base for a delicious alfredo!
