Steps:
- Combine the milk, onion and herbs in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to lowest point and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring often. It should produce approximately 2 cups. Turn off the heat and let it set until needed. For a smoother result, strain the sauce, if desired. In a saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the flour, cooking over medium-low heat about 1 minute. Whisk in the warm milk all at once. If adding heavy cream, stir in cream (brought to room temperature) at this point. Season with salt and cook over lowest heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook over medium, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- NOTE - It is best to use warm to hot liquids when making sauce, which helps to prevent lumps. Also, constant stirring will help prevent the sauce from scorching on the bottom. If sauce turns lumpy, whisk vigorously with a wire whip or strain through a wire sieve before serving.
- Stir in milk or other liquid. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Option: Reduce milk by the same amount you add white wine, sherry or brandy will create a lovely flavor.
- CHEESE SAUCE - Once sauce is made, remove from heat and stir in 1/2 to 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese (or whatever flavor compliments what you are making -- better yet use 2 different cheeses), stirring until melted. To Au Gratin anything use this sauce mixed with potatoes, veggies, meats or whatever and heat through. Top with seasoned bread crumbs and more cheese finishing in the broiler.
- CURRY SAUCE - Stir in 1/2 teaspoon curry powder with the flour.
- DILL SAUCE - Stir in 1 teaspoon chopped fresh, or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed and a dash of ground nutmeg with the flour.
- MORNAY SAUCE.
- Add 1/2 cup grated cheese to 1 cup of hot sauce; stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Season with a little mustard or Worcestershire sauce to taste.
- VELOUTE SAUCE.
- Substitute chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable broth for the milk.
- HERB SAUCE.
- Add 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped herbs or 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs to 1 cup of hot sauce. Cook for a minute or two longer to get more flavor from the herbs.
- CREAM SAUCE.
- Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of heavy cream to the finished sauce. For an onion flavor, add an onion slice to the milk when heating; remove onion slice before adding milk to flour and butter mixture.
- MUSTARD SAUCE.
- Combine 1 teaspoon dry mustard to flour used in sauce. This sauce is especially good with fish and chicken.

Steps:
- In a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the thyme, shallots, and garlic and cook, sweating the shallots, for 3 to 5 minutes, until fragrant and softened. Add the wine, bring to a simmer, and reduce for about 10 minutes, until almost completely evaporated. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Continue to cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the flour smells nutty and has begun to take on a hint of light tan.
- While stirring constantly, slowly add the milk and cream. The mixture will seize up and the flour will clump for a moment but will ultimately reincorporate and the mixture will become smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, continuing to stir to avoid scorching, and cook until the mixture thickens to the consistency of thick gravy. This will take about 6 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper to taste.
- TO FREEZE: Spread the béchamel on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool to room temperature. Portion and transfer the béchamel to freezer-safe containers, such as vacuum pouches, quart-size zip-top plastic bags, or pint-size lidded plastic containers. Label and date and freeze for up to 3 months.
- TO THAW: Pull the béchamel out of the freezer and thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, or put the packaged béchamel in a into a larger bowl or other vessel, or even a plugged sink, and run a slow steady trickle of cold water over it until it thaws.
- TO REHEAT: If you used vacuum pouches, reheating from frozen using the sous vide method works well. Set the sous vide water bath to 145°F and drop in the pouch. It will take about 1 hour to reach temperature, depending on the volume. Otherwise, thaw first, then transfer to a saucepan and reheat on the stove over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to gently simmer.
