White Sauce

The White sauce recipe is a classic recipe and is great with all kind of fish.

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 60g all-purpose flour
• 480ml whole milk
• ¾ teaspoon onion salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed
• pinch fresh-ground nutmeg
• 1 bay leaf

Melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat until the foam subsides. Add the flour and whisk together, still over the heat, for 2-3 minutes. The flour should lose its raw smell, but should not brown. Add the milk while whisking quickly but smoothly to create a smooth mixture. Add the seasonings and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Simmer the sauce until it lightly coats the back of a spoon. Remove the bay leaf, taste and adjust for salt and pepper, and serve.
