wooden spoon, creating a roux – do not

milk in a stream. Mix until smooth and
blended, about 30 seconds. Stir in salt and

them from curdling when added to the hot
sauce). Continue adding the béchamel in
small additions to the yolks until the
m i x t u re is fully incorporated.

in 3 increments using the beaters on the

fully (scraping sides and bottom of bowl).
Pour batter into pre p a red jellyroll pan and
gently spread evenly in the pan.
