4 servings
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor. - ¼ tsp fine salt
- ⅛ tsp ground white pepper
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- 1
Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming but not simmering, about 3–4 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- 2
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the flour all at once and whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes, until the mixture is pale golden and smells faintly nutty — this cooks out the raw flour taste.
