I wanted to add this recipe because I make alot of things and use this delicious lower fat creamy sauce. It is really easy. This recipe makes enough bechamel for a small lasagna, or a serving of 10-12 for scalloped potatoes, or a full 1 lb box od pastas worth of mac and cheese.
What you need:
3 cups skim milk (divided 2 cups and 1 cup)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper
To make:melt butter in a pot on medium heat. One melted add flour and mix. stir until it forms a smooth paste that is off white in color. Using a whish add 2 cups of milk 1/4 cup at a time. Whisk well. Continue to stir often until thick and creamy. Continue to add third cup. If it gets too thick while using it add additional milk.
I flavor with Dijon mustard if I am making scalloped potatoes, or Nutmeg for greek dishes, or hot sauce for Mac and cheese...
