Bechamel Sauce
Ingredients
5 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat
until melted. Add the flour and stir until smooth. Over medium
heat, cook until the mixture turns a light, golden sandy color,
about 6 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan until just about to
boil. Add the hot milk to the butter mixture 1 cup at a time,
whisking continuously until very smooth.

Bring to a boil.
Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
Season with salt and nutmeg, and set aside until ready to use.
