How to Make Bechamel Sauce – 1 of the 5 Mother Sauces

Bechamel sauce is one of the five mother sauces that every cook should know. This basic kitchen skill begins with a blonde roux, which is butter and flour cooked together, then milk is added to turn it into a rich sauce. A good Bechamel sauce is key to making creamy casseroles, mac and cheese, lasagna and pasta sauces.
