  6. First we prepare the classic Bechamel sauce. I'll show it in more detail (for beginners), and those who know how to cook can skip a few steps. Preheat a non-stick saucepan, reduce the heat, put the butter in it and, when it has not completely melted, add the flour. Then very quickly stir all the time with a wooden spatula and keep milk and water (broth) ready. When the flour and butter are completely combined and a small lump of dough is brewed, gradually begin to pour in slow portions of the liquid.
