Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat – low add the butter when it has melted, add the wheat flour and stir until forming the so-called roux.

  • Once the flour and butter are well mixed, add the milk little by a little while stirring, and with circular movements.

  • Remove from heat and go.

    Notes

    • So that there are no lumps in the sauce, you must sift it, that is, pass it through a filter. When adding the milk, constantly stir circularly, so that everything is well integrated. Do not stop stirring until the milk introduced.
    • If you wish you can add half an onion and a clove of garlic, I recommend that it be finely chopped and sauté in the butter, then add the flour, and then the milk in the same way as in the previous procedure.
    • If you want to add a bottom of chicken broth, then use 300 ml of milk and 300 ml of broth.
