Nice classic bechamel ! Also guys, you need to be very careful with the temperature because the sauce will keep thickening a little while after you stopped cooking it and it can happen fast. You can also add grated cheese (like comté) to your bechamel and you'll have the base for a soufflé. This sauce also works great if you want to pour it over baked cauliflower.

there is a huge difference between nutmeg powder and actually grating a nutmeg, way more stronger and you dont need a lot so your sauce also doesn't get darker

It can go with anything. its basicly a "base" for any sauce. simply add the meat stock to it, (and sometimes add brown food colouring) (look up Madkulør - for brown sauce) I tend to use cream instead of milk, simply to make it very rich and thick. but I also add the water from boiled potatoes, which then "balance" it out.

So I grew up with a mom that kind of just followed recipes when she did cook but wouldn’t be caught dead taking the time to make a bechamel sauce for a lasagna (although she did make an excellent gravy for thanksgiving) so I grew up with cottage cheese in the lasagna. the first time I saw a bechamel in a lasagna was by mother in law’s lasagna. I thought it was the worst ingredient that didn’t belong in lasagna (couldnt stand the texture) Come to find out the reason maybe is that is was a knorr brand packaged bechamel mix? So I have still yet to have a real bechamel in lasagna. BUT…cooks country had an article that talked about cottage cheese instead of bechamel in lasagna, so I’m happy to know what my mother did all along is considered delicious! Yay cottage cheese! I usually add ricotta to it too.

@schmatever

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a particularly great bechamel to be honest with you he should’ve cooked that flour out for much longer that bechamel will taste of flour

I’m sorry my chef but it doesn’t look as smooth as it should. The process is also not correct. You must cook the butter and flour much more before adding the milk.

Your bechamel clearly is lumpy and overcooked. It must be a bit liquid. Just enough to stick on the back of a spoon without being solid. When stirring, never stop and don’t forget to scrap the side of the pan to get all the flour to prevent lumps; once it’s cooked enough, get it out of the stove to add nutmeg and check the seasoning. Finally, when you put cling film on it, you want it to make contact with the sauce and remove all air pockets. Otherwise oxydation will dry the surface's up.

No to the nutmeg.

This is exactly how NOT to make bechamel. This is moronic. Start on high heat. Melt the butter, add the flour. It should not make lumps. If it does, you added to little butter or too much flour. Let it cook for a bit to remove the taste of the flour.Add all the liquid att the same time, add pepper, salt anv nutmeg. Whisk until it's come to a boil.
