Béchamel is traditionally made by melting equal quantity of butter, and Plain flour in order to make a roux, which is cooked under gentle heat while stirring with spoon. As it is a white sauce, care needs to be taken not to brown the roux. Then heated milk is gradually whisked in, and the sauce is cooked until thickened and smooth. Salt and white pepper are added as per taste. Sometimes pinch of nutmeg to be used for a variety, likewise I have tried Saffron Béchamel Sauce for this Recipe.
