Bechamel Sauce Recipe

This Bechamel Sauce recipe is an excellent mildly flavored white cream sauce which is very nice served over meatballs.

This sauce recipe will make 2 cups.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
• 3 Tbsp. flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. white pepper
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp. lemon juice

Method:

• Melt butter or margarine over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
• Stir in flour and cook until bubbly.
• Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, then the milk, salt and pepper.
• Stir or whisk constantly until thick and bubbly.
• Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
