Melt butter on a medium heat. The butter must be hot otherwise it will be absorbed and the food becomes soggy rather than crispy. The food should "sizzle" when added to the pan.
This Easy Bechamel Sauce is rich, creamy and perfect for pasta bakes, lasagne or gratins. Made with Western Star butter, milk, parmesan and a simple roux, it’s a classic white sauce that’s quick to prepare and a versatile base for so many comforting dishes.
We recommend Chef's Choice - it's higher fat content and creamier finish makes it ideal for sweet pastries.
