Just because a sauce is a French mother sauce doesn’t mean it is hard to make. In this recipe, I will show you how easy it is to make a traditional bechamel. I’ll even give you a secret tip on how to make a lump-free sauce. This classic white sauce is, by nature, a basic sauce. However, when you pair it with additional flavors, the bechamel sauce transforms into delicious derivative sauces like Mornay (cheese sauce), soubise (onion sauce), crème (cream sauce) and even sausage gravy. Bechamel can be used with vegetables, chicken, pork, veal, and pasta dishes.

The Chef that taught me to make white sauce dumped all the cold milk into the rue all at once and said that is the way to keep it from clumping! It works! That is the way I have made it for 40 years! I make my roux with two parts butter one part flour and simmer it on low for 2/3 minutes or until the raw flour taste is gone! Taste every step of your cooking but be careful of the roux very hot, dip your spoon blow on it and touch it onto your finger then taste it. If it tastes raw cook another minute!

I'm no stranger to bechamel, I was seeking to improve it though so I watched many recipe videos. I went on and tried this and I can say it has improved vastly, I need to apply infusion more often. Also, it depends on what you want, but whisking usually makes it too creamy or too solid. With this method it aquires consistency while not loosing the texture, and if you want it creamier you can just whisk a bit in the end

My grandmother used to make Dill Chicken with white sauce. She would add fresh dill to the white sauce and pour the sauce over skin on chicken breast in a pyrex dish and bake the chicken in the oven. She would serve the Dill Chicken over buttered egg noodles. I loved it so much. Whenever I try to replicate the white sauce, the sauce always breaks in the oven. It's as if the fat in the chicken breaks the sauce? How do I keep the white sauce nice and smooth in the oven while baking chicken. Thank you.

You stop clumping by adding a bit of milk at a time, then more, then more. You don't dump it all in at once.

Spot the clove that slipped through the sieve @ 3:59! Great recipe - very interesting you advise using cold milk. Some cooks, the late, great Julia Child among them, swore by the hot milk option. But I believe the consensus today is room temperature milk is best for avoiding lumps! For me, using a balloon whisk, not the wooden spoon I used to rely on, is a game changer for achieving a smooth sauce.
