Milk sauce will soften and shade the taste of any dish, be it curd casserole with raisins or chicken cutlets. Milk sauces can be made with varying degrees of density, both with sugar (for sweet dishes), and with salt and spices - for meat, pasta or fish. They are widely used in dietary nutrition due to their low pungency and delicate consistency.
It is necessary
-
- 1 liter of milk
- 40-120 g flour
- salt or sugar
- butter or vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1
Most dairy sauces are based on milk and flour sautéing (wheat flour, fried in a pan until golden or light brown and mashed with butter). According to the canons of French cuisine, such a sausage is called ru. You can also cook the sauce with potato flour without fried.
Step 2
The base for the milk sauce is prepared as follows: prepare a sauté, dilute it with hot (not boiling!) Milk, stirring continuously so that no lumps form, salt and boil for 5-7 minutes. The amount of flour for sautéing depends on the thickness of the sauce you want.
Step 3
When the sauce thickens a little, you can add grated cheese, chopped mushrooms, herbs, egg yolks or chopped boiled eggs, sautéed onions, spices to it - as far as your imagination suffices. A very thick sauce is used for stuffing, in a semi-liquid you can bake cutlets or add it to vegetable dishes. Liquid milk sauces are poured over ready-made dishes, for example, casseroles, pasta, and you can also stew meat or fish in them. This sauce with grated cheese and nuts in combination with pasta dishes is very tasty.
Step 4
The famous French béchamel sauce is also prepared on the basis of milk and flour sauteed. Nutmeg, bay leaves, black or white ground pepper are added to it, and the flour is ground with butter and diluted with a small amount of broth. The type of broth depends on what kind of dish the sauce is being prepared for: meat broth for meat, fish broth for fish.
Step 5
Dessert milk sauces are prepared in the same way as unsweetened ones, but they are usually made liquid and sugar and vanillin are added instead of salt, you can also add cinnamon or cocoa to taste. Usually cottage cheese and fruit dishes are served with them. Try making pumpkin in milk sauce: fry the pumpkin slices, place in a greased skillet or pan, top with semi-liquid sweet milk sauce, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake in the oven.
