Béchamel Sauce:

• 50g butter
• 50g plain flour
• 900ml full-fat milk
• Salt & pepper

Method:

1. In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat
2. Once the butter has melted completely, add the flour and stir for a couple of minutes until the flour cooks through
3. Add a splash of milk and whisk to combine. Continue to add the milk a little at a time, making sure that the milk and flour amalgamate completely before adding more. Whisk thoroughly to prevent any lumps
