- Avoid using the types of flour generally used for making gluten-free bread since the thickeners they contain would make your sauce too sticky.
- It is extremely important to cook the sauce on a gentle heat. An excessively high temperature would burn the sauce and completely alter its taste.
- Add milk a little at a time. This operation is slightly tiresome but it will guarantee a lump-free sauce.
- It is essential to keep your béchamel sauce rather liquid. It can be thickened, if necessary by adding a small amount of potato flour.
