Stuff to know
This quantity will make about 80 portions.
If the sauce is too thick, add some extra stock, milk, or cream.
The sauce is a close relative to a béchamel sauce. But with stock and cream and not just milk.
Make sure the stock you add to the roux is cold. The sauce will thicken when it comes to the boil again. if you start the sauce with a cold liquid, you have some time until the sauce thickens.
