Ingredients<\/strong> (makes about 4 portions):<\/h3>\n

500 ml (water, milk or a plant-based drink)<\/p>\n

30\u201340 g of type 0 flour<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

Nutmeg (optional)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a small saucepan, dissolve the flour in the slightly warm milk, adding it a little at a time to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the cream thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the cream is smooth and even.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. With milk:<\/strong> creamier and with a delicate flavour.<\/li>\n
  2. With water:<\/strong> lighter and lower in calories.<\/li>\n
  3. With a plant-based drink:<\/strong> ideal for a lactose-free version.<\/li>\n
  4. For a lighter version of lasagne:<\/strong> with a runnier consistency (it should slide easily off the spoon).<\/li>\n
  5. For vegetables au gratin:<\/strong> thicker (it should be more substantial without running too much).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A little tip for making the perfect b\u00e9chamel sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Never stop stirring whilst it\u2019s cooking, and don\u2019t let it thicken too much \u2013 take it off the heat whilst it\u2019s still slightly softer than the final consistency you want, as it will thicken and become firmer as it cools.<\/p>\n
