INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the shallot
and saute, stirring, for 3 minutes. Lower the heat, add the flour, and cook
stirring, 3 minutes more or until the roux is golden and bubbling. Pour in
the milk and bring it to a simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or
until thickened and smooth. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. The recipe
makes a scant 2 cup, but easily doubles if you need more. *We substitute
unsalted butter (or Weight Watchers low-fat substitute) for Grandma's
butter, and use skim milk or 2% lowfat instead of the whole milk she used,
with no trouble at all.
