This very famous sauce takes its name from Louis de Béchamel, Marquis of Nointel, grand chamberlain of King Louis XIV (17th century).
The aphorism by S. Lopez about him is famous: 'You do not need to have founded an empire to be remembered by posterity: it is enough to have invented a sauce: look at Béchamel!'
Blend the milk with the flour, salt, pepper and grated nutmeg.
Pour it into a saucepan where you have melted the butter over low heat.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
After about 3 minutes of boiling the sauce will have thickened and will be ready to use.
