|
||||
| Velouté | Substitute chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable broth for the milk. |
|
||||

|
||||
| Cream | 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 | Combine 1 teaspoon dry mustard to flour used in sauce. This sauce is especially good with fish and chicken. |
