Directions
When the milk is smoothly in, move the saucepan to a milder heat to avoid too-quick boiling.
Stir for five minutes with a wooden spoon, add salt and pepper.
Away from the heat, bind the sauce with 2 tablespoonfuls of diced butter.
This sauce is improved by adding one of the following ingredients when you bind it with butter: 2 tablespoonfuls of fresh cream; 1 tablespoonful of cream and 1 yolk of egg: the juice of a lemon: or 1 egg yolk beaten with lemon juice: 1 egg beaten with some continental mustard and mixed herbs.
