White Sauce/Bechamel Sauce




















There are 5 mother sauce one of them is Bechamel sauce we know it by the name of White sauce, its thick white sauce made from corn starch or all purpose flour and milk with little butter.
This recipe i m posting coz its used in many baked dishes in many world cousines, its very easy to make , u can make it fast and Taste u know it very well :)

Ok before i keep talking about food lets discuss its recipe straight away...i believe every recipe has lot more to say rather then just putting all ingredient on website and posting procedure so, First we take a look on ingredients and procedure




Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp Flour
• 1-1/4 Cups milk, heated
• 2 tbsp Butter
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Salt to Taste

Optional ingredient
• Onion cut onion in 2 half
• 4 cloves
• Bay leaf
How to make Bechamel Sauce:
Take a heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt the butter in it.
Stir in the flour and cook, stirring continuously till the paste cooks and bubbles a bit.
Don’t let it brown, cook it for about 2 minutes.
Add the hot milk to it and bring it to a boil, keep stirring as the sauce thickens.
Add salt and pepper to it.
Optional put bay leaf over half onion and insert cloves to it so bay leaf doesn't move.
Reduce the heat, and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove it from the fire and let it cool.

Once its cooled remove that piece on onion in this manner u can save ur time to extract those cloves and u have flavor already :) Now remember sauce should b as thick as Condensed milk.

Once its ready u can use it in Pasta , spaghetti, macaroni, Lasagna layering, and many other dishes that we will discuss soon .
