Gluten-free Bechamel: Easy Recipe

If you’re following a gluten-free diet, you don’t have to miss out on delicious creamy sauces like bechamel. This easy recipe uses gluten-free flour and can be made in just two steps and in only 10 minutes. Here’s how:

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp. butter or margarine
• 4 tbsp. gluten-free flour (such as rice flour or corn flour)
• 2 cups milk
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
2. Once the butter has melted, add the gluten-free flour to the pan and whisk it continuously for 1-2 minutes, until the flour has cooked through and the mixture has a golden color.
3. Gradually add the milk to the mixture while whisking constantly, making sure there are no lumps. Keep whisking the mixture over medium heat until it thickens and starts to bubble.
