Bechamel or white sauce

This is a basic sauce, used in many Mediterranean dishes like lasagna or moussaka. Also great for oven cooked vegetables such as Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli... all those things that are often hard to get the kids to eat!

4 cups milk
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsps flour or 2 tbsps corn starch
Salt & pepper
Nutmeg

Heat the milk until nearly boiling.
Melt butter in a heavy bottomed pan.
Add flour or cornstarch while whisking. If it thickens too quickly, start to slowly add the heated milk.
Continue until the bechamel is nice & thick, stirring continually with a whisk.
Add salt & a pinch of nutmeg.
