Bechamel Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flour
- knob of butter
- 2 cup milk
Instructions
Making bechamel sauce in a microwave oven is much easier and faster than making it over the stove. Melt the butter and stir in the flour, then stir in the milk and, if you wish, salt and pepper. Heat the sauce on high power for 1 minute and stir it briskly till most of the lumps are gone. Heat it for five more minutes at medium power, stirring every minute or so. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, and it's ready. Crema Pasticcera (Pastry cream) can also be made this way.
