Notes

You can store the bechamel in the fridge for 2-3 days; in this case, place it in a bowl, let it cool, then cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap placed directly on the bechamel to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.

When ready to use, take it out of the refrigerator and soften it by working it for a few moments with a hand or electric whisk.
