Ingredients

  • 8 cups milk
  • 8 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  • Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the milk comes to a slow boil, keep it warm over very low heat.
  • Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. When the butter begins to bubble, slowly add the flour and whisk until it forms a golden paste.
  • Whisking constantly, begin to add the hot milk in a slow, steady stream. Continue to add all the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk in the salt and nutmeg.
  • Remove from heat and cool for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to release stream.
  • Once cooled, add beaten eggs and whisk until smooth.
