Cooks' Question

Is there a quick method for making béchamel sauce?

Response

To make a quick alternative to the classic béchamel, place all the ingredients, ie butter, flour and cold liquid, in a saucepan and whisk continuously and vigourously over the heat until the heat thickens the sauce. By the time the heat penetrates, the butter will have blended with the flour to prevent lumps, and the finished sauce will be silky smooth.
