Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Butter
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 milliliters Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Ensure the butter does not brown.
Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously with a whisk to create a smooth paste known as a roux. Cook the roux for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing it to bubble gently, but ensure it does not change color.
Gradually incorporate the heavy cream and whole milk into the roux, pouring in a little at a time while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken and reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Add the lemon juice and whisk again to ensure it is thoroughly incorporated into the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, you may add a little more milk or cream to achieve your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. The sahnesauce can be poured over pasta, drizzled on chicken, or paired with vegetables.
