Traditional sauce
Description
The sauce takes just a few minutes to prepare. "Béchamel" is a classic, so every cook knows how to make it. There are various variations, for example, with mustard or turmeric. I suggest you try the traditional recipe. Give it a try. The sauce is ready. Store it in the refrigerator and serve with dishes.
