Additional Information for White Cream Sauce
White cream sauce, also known as béchamel sauce, is a classic French sauce made from butter, flour, and milk. It is a versatile sauce that can be used as a base for many dishes or as a topping for vegetables, pasta, or meat.
To make white cream sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Here's how you can make white cream sauce:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Once the butter has melted, add the flour to the pan and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes. This will create a roux, which will thicken the sauce.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Continue whisking the sauce until it thickens and comes to a simmer. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
5. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings or herbs, such as nutmeg or thyme, for additional flavor if desired.
Once the white cream sauce is ready, you can use it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
White cream sauce is a delicious and creamy addition to many dishes, such as pasta dishes like fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna, or macaroni and cheese. It can also be used as a base for creamy soups or as a topping for steamed vegetables or grilled meats.
