Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.
Add the flour to the saucepan and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux. Cook until the flour loses its raw taste but does not brown.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to ensure no lumps form. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and white vinegar. Whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Season the sauce with salt and ground white pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Cook the sauce on low heat for another 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors, stirring continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or pour directly over your dish.
Serve warm as a topping for corned beef, vegetables, or other dishes. Enjoy!
