The sauce gets its English name from its distinctive white color. The French naming is after B\u00e9chamel was a financier who held the honorary post of chief steward to King Louis XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roux is made from a mixture of butter and wheat flour. This sauce is one of the five mother sauces in French cuisine even though it has its roots in Italian cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other four of the five mother sauces include\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightercooking\/espagnole-sauce\/\">Espagnole<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightercooking\/tomato-sauce\/\">tomato<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightercooking\/hollandaise-sauce-explained\/\">hollandaise<\/a>, and\u00a0velout\u00e9 sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightercooking\/tag\/sauces\">sauce<\/a> was originally a veal velout\u00e9 or <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightercooking\/veloute-sauce\/\">velout\u00e9 sauce<\/a> with a large amount of cream in it. Like every other mother sauce, it is a base of other sauces, most notably Mornay sauce. Mornay sauce is a variation of B\u00e9chamel with cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sauce is used a lot in dishes such as lasagna and other pasta dishes in either its base form or other derived forms.
