I think the secret is the egg yolks, it just isn't the same richness without them. This is my basic, stand-by all-purpose recipe. I use it a LOT! Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1/2 cup flour |
3 cups milk |
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten |
1 1/2-2 teaspoons salt, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
Directions:
1. In frying pan or large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Stir in flour, cook and stir constantly over lower heat for 2-3 minutes. DO NOT BROWN.
3. Slowly whisk in 3 cups of milk.
4. Cook and stir over medium heat til thick and low-boiling.
5. Low-boil, stirring, for 3-5 minutes.
6. In small bowl, mix egg yolks.
7. Add, stirring, 2 Tbl. cooked sauce, ONE TBL. AT A TIME, into beaten yolks. Add a bit more sauce, stirring, then slowly whisk into skillet of sauce.
8. Whisk in salt and pepper, remove from heat.
