Elaboration
-
Pour the milk into a pot, with a bay leaf, the half onion and the cloves to flavor, and bring to a boil.
-
When the milk boils, remove it from the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes so the flavors blend well.
-
In another casserole, add the butter over medium heat and wait for it to melt, stirring with a rod. Once melted add the flour and mix everything well until it is like a kind of dough. Keep mixing for about two or three minutes so that the flour cooks well.
-
Remove from the heat and add the milk, passing it through a strainer, removing the bay leaf, onion and cloves.
-
Mix everything and put it back on the fire, at medium temperature, non-stop stirring for three minutes.
-
Add salt, nutmeg and pepper to taste.
-
If we like thicker bechamel, we just have to let it cook for a few more minutes without stopping stirring.
