Heat 6-7 dl milk with a few slices of onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Then strain the milk and discard the bay leaves, onion, and peppercorns.

Melt 100 g butter, add an equal amount of flour, and stir vigorously to avoid lumps.

Slowly add the milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil while stirring to prevent lumps. Heat the sauce to the boiling point—just before it boils, it will thicken. Season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg to taste.

  • 6-7 dl milk

  • 100 g flour
  • A few slices of onion
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 5-6 peppercorns
  • White pepper

Instructions

Heat the milk with the onion slices, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Strain the milk and discard the bay leaves, onion, and peppercorns.

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and stir vigorously to avoid lumps.

Add the warm milk slowly while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Notes

For a quicker version: skip heating the milk with aromatics, and use onion powder and white pepper directly in the sauce instead.
