Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the semi-skimmed milk, double cream onion, and bay leaf into a large saucepan.
• Bring to the boil taking care the mixture does not boil over.
• Turn the heat off and leave the pan and cream to stand for about 10 minutes to cool and for the flavors to gently infuse.
• Remove the onion from the pan and keep to one side (read below why you would want to keep the onion.)
• Add the breadcrumbs, to the pan, stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and becomes smoother (you do not want the sauce to be completely smooth, it should still have the texture of the bread.)
• Add the butter to the pan and stir, season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve. If not using straight away, then cover the sauce with clingfilm (plastic wrap) until required or leave to one side to cool, then freeze.
• Enjoy.
