My Favorite Dijon Cream Sauce Recipes

CREAMY DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Over medium heat, melt the butter in a small saute or sauce pan.
• Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
• Reduce the heat to low, and gradually whisk in the milk. The mixture will become very thick.
• Continue cooking over low heat and slowly whisk in the broth.
• Once the mixture is combined and smooth, raise the heat source to medium-low and bring up to a low boil.
• As soon as the first signs of bubbles appear, reduce the heat back down to low and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes, while whisking.
• Whisk in the mustard, salt and pepper and simmer just until heated through, about 1 minute.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a tablespoon of broth one tablespoon at a time in order to thin until desired thickness is acquired.
