Ingredients:
- 45g butter
- 45g plain flour
- 600ml milk
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter: In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
-
Prepare the Roux: Remove the pan from the heat and swiftly stir in the flour until a smooth, soft paste forms, known as a ‘roux’. Return the pan to low heat and cook the roux for about 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
-
Incorporate Milk: Gradually add about a quarter of the milk to the pan, whisking vigorously to incorporate it into the roux. Once smooth, gradually mix in the remaining milk until well combined.
-
Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to moderately hot and bring the sauce to a gentle boil, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
-
Thicken the Sauce: As the sauce begins to bubble and thicken, reduce the heat to very low. Add the Dijon mustard and sugar, stirring well to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
-
Season: Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, stir in the grated nutmeg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
-
Serve: Remove the sauce from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish or pour it directly over your favorite dishes. This Mustard Sauce pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
