Bechamel Sauce For Mac And Cheese

Take melted clarified butter, and whisk in flour until thoroughly mixed, cook until it simmers. Add milk and onion piquet. Bring sauce to a simmer, add nutmeg, salt and pepper. Aside from ensuring you have a nice creamy bechamel to start, the best way I have found to make my cheese sauce super creamy is to add cream cheese and sour cream to the mix. Cream cheese doesn’t bring a ton of flavor, but it does bring a lovely, smooth decadence to your sauce.
