Simili Sisters' bechamel sauce recipe: this easy French sauce is the ultimate filling for traditional Italian traditional
Step 01
Step 02
Remove from heat and add the sifted flour with a strainer or sifter.
Step 03
Let it absorb completely then turn back on the heat and, stirring constantly, let it sauté gently for 1-2 minutes.
Step 04
Remove from heat again and add the boiling milk, while whisking it.
Step 05
As soon as the mixture is blended, turn on flame and keep stirring while you bring it to boil.
If the sauce is destined to be cooked in the oven, it’s enough to let it boil only 2-3 minutes.
If instead, it will be used straight off the stovetop, let it simmer at least 8-10 minutes. If not, you will still have a starchy taste from the flour, and you’ll find the sauce too sticky.
If not simmered long enough, béchamel will stick to the palate!
