Ingredients

  • 1 onion studded with 6 cloves
  • 300ml milk
  • 75ml double cream
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 100g fresh white breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • freshly grated nutmeg, to season

Method

  1. Pop the onion in a pan with the milk, cream, peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 30 mins. Pour the milk through a sieve into a jug, then return it to a cleaned pan.

  2. Stir in the breadcrumbs, bring back to the simmer and cook for a few mins (add a splash more milk if you like your sauce thinner). Stir in the butter, season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg, then pour into a warm serving jug or bowl. Or leave to cool and chill or freeze for up to 1 month until needed.
