Ingredients

• 50 grams Butter
• 30 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 milliliters Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Ensure the butter does not brown.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously with a whisk to create a smooth paste known as a roux. Cook the roux for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing it to bubble gently, but ensure it does not change color.

Step 3

Gradually incorporate the heavy cream and whole milk into the roux, pouring in a little at a time while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Continue to whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken and reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice and whisk again to ensure it is thoroughly incorporated into the sauce.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, you may add a little more milk or cream to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately. The sahnesauce can be poured over pasta, drizzled on chicken, or paired with vegetables.
