I am frequently asked for my béchamel recipe ......
Melt 8 tbs of ghee in the bottom of a large pot over medium heat .
Once melted add 1/2 cup of plain flour and stir it into your butter until smooth .
You will need 4 cups of whole milk ..( and yes cold milk is fine as long as you add your milk slowly .)
Drizzle a small amount of milk at a time into the butter flour mix until the mixture is smooth , the mix has to be stirred constantly , once you have added half the milk you will find that you have a thick sauce or batter ...now you can start adding the milk a little quicker , just be sure to keep mixing .
Once all the milk ( 4 cups ) is added , add 1 tsp of table salt , 1 dsp of minced garlic and ground nutmeg to taste along with a good sprinkle of cracked black pepper .
Bring the mix to a slow simmer and cook it for 10 minutes , stirring frequently .
Taste to adjust seasonings if needed .
