Sauce Creme
Adding cream to Bechamel Sauce makes a cream sauce
Ingredients
- 2½ tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Whipping Cream
- Salt and White Pepper
- Lemon Juice
- 1-2 Tbsp Butter softened
Instructions
- Make a Thick Bechamel – Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the flour, stirring to incorporate. Allow the flour and butter to cook for 2 minutes. The mixture will be a little frothy. This removes the raw flour taste.Heat your milk to almost boiling and then add to the flour mixture and whisk vigorously. Turn the heat to medium-high and continue stirring until it comes to a boil. Boil for one to two minutes and the sauce will thicken. Beat in the whipping cream by spoonfuls and simmer to your desired consistency. Stir in the salt and pepper and drops of lemon juice. Off the heat, and just before serving, whisk in the optional butter by half-tablspoons.
