INGREDIENTS

METHOD

• Pour milk into a saucepan and add garlic. Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil.
• Remove from heat and place a lid on the saucepan. Leave for 15 minutes so garlic infuses the milk.
• In a second saucepan melt butter over a medium heat, stir in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes or until butter and flour smells nutty. Through a sieve pour in milk all at once and stir until sauce has thickened. Discard garlic.
• Cook over a very low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (I always place a simmer mat under the saucepan).
• Pour in cream and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place in refrigerator until ready to use. To prevent skin forming place plastic wrap directly on top of sauce.
