A rich, creamy white cheese sauce will add flavor to your favorite food or vegetable. It's done easily, quickly and simply with just a few ingredients.

• Finished products:3 cups cheese sauce

Resources

• 40g or 3 tablespoons of butter
• 40g or 3 tablespoons of flour
• 600ml or 2 cups of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed fresh nutmeg (optional)
• Salt and pepper, depending on taste
• Fresh cloves (optional)
• Laurel leaves (Optional)
• 1/2 or 1 onion diced (optional)
• 115g or 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or another cheese of your choice.
• Lemonade

Steps

1. 

   Cut the butter into small pieces and place in a saucepan over low heat to melt the butter.

2. 

   
   
   Mix the flour with melted butter. Continue mixing even after the flour has been mixed so that the dough no longer smells. Keep the stove on low heat.

3. 

   Put the cold milk in the pan. Stir slowly and evenly until mixture simmers.
   • If butter / flour mixture is hot, add cold milk; If the mixture becomes cold, add hot milk. Mix the ingredients together at different temperatures to ensure they boil just right and have the perfect texture.

4. 

   
   
   Reduce heat and keep stirring for 5-10 minutes. You will create a thick, fluffy sauce.

5. 

   Season the sauce with mashed nutmeg, salt and pepper. In addition, you can also add a diced onion, fresh cloves or a bay leaf, but be sure to filter out the spices before adding the cheese sauce.

6. 

   
   
   Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring well. The more patiently you boil and stir your hands, the smoother the sauce will be.

7. 

   Place shredded cheese in a separate bowl and squeeze lemon juice on it. Acidic ingredients like alcohol or lemon juice will keep the cheese spun-free.
   • Leave the cheese at room temperature to facilitate the melting process.

8. 

   Place shredded cheese in a pan. Mix. Make sure the stove is on the lowest heat setting. You can also turn off the heat and let the remaining heat in the pan melt the cheese.
   • It is important not to heat the cheese above its melting point, so it is best to cook it over low heat.

9. 

   Stir continuously for 5 minutes until everything blends into a smooth sauce.

10. 

    Take the pan out of the kitchen and enjoy immediately. advertisement

Advice

• Wheat flour prevents cheese from clumping. Preheat the flour and stir for a few minutes to reduce the smell.
• It is important to stir the mixture constantly, avoiding the dough clumping and creating a smooth sauce.
• The sauce looks great with steamed vegetables, including broccoli and cauliflower.
• This recipe makes 600ml cheese sauce.
• If you are using low-fat cheeses, be sure to cut them smaller when cutting regular cheese. Because less-fat cheeses are harder and take longer to melt.

Warning

• Failure to stir the ingredients will cause the sauce to become lumpy. Stir continuously to mix the ingredients and make the sauce smooth.
• Boiling cheese too long will cause it to clump and burn. Add cheese at the end and heat only until it is melted. Don't let the cheese boil.
• Unshred, crushed or shredded cheese will take a long time to melt.
