Feb 18, 2015 at 11:20 comment added CJ Dennis @rumtscho I don't measure the ingredients, I just go by feel. I heat the butter and flour together until they form a thick paste and then I gradually add the milk to thin it down. As the flour cooks it thickens again, so I add more milk. Once I have it at a good consistency in the pot I add a lot more milk. So basically, I put in what feels like enough and then I double it because I know it will end up very thick on the plate if I don't.
Feb 16, 2015 at 17:12 comment added rumtscho You write "I use a lot of milk" - what is "a lot"? The proportion for a mid-thick bechamel is 1:1:10, so you'd use 1 liter of milk for 100 gram of flour and 100 gram of fat to get a creamy thick sauce.
