Homemade bechamel sauce (Molho bechamel)

Ingredients

2 colheres (sopa) de butter
1 colher (sopa) de oil vegetal
4 colheres (sopa) de wheat flour
1 litro de milk
Salt to taste
Noz-moscada grated to taste

Where to find ingredients

Look for the ingredients in well-stocked supermarkets, fresh produce markets, butchers, fishmongers, baking suppliers and shops that carry Brazilian or Latin American foods. Cultural ingredients such as palmito, requeijao, cassava flour, goiabada, cachaca, pacoca and moranga are best used as originally named; substitutes should only be used when necessary and treated as substitutes.

Preparation method

  1. In a pan, derreta a butter com o oil em medium heat
  2. Add a wheat flour e mix bem com um fouet ou colher, cozinhando for about 2 minutes para que a farinha perca o gosto cru, mas sem deixar brown
  3. Aos poucos, add o milk integral, mexendo continuamente para evitar a formação de grumos
  4. Continue cozinhando em low heat/médio, stirring constantly, até o sauce engrossar e atingir a consistência desejada
  5. Season com salt e noz-moscada grated to taste
  6. Remove from the heat e serve imediatamente ou set aside
