Creole Bechamel Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (skim works fine)
- 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour, whisking constantly, until blended and bubbly (that's your white roux). Do not allow flour to brown. Gradually whisk in warm milk; cook, whisking constantly, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in Creole seasoning, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 1 cup.
