Cooking features
Cream sauces contain dairy products. All components must be fresh. At the slightest sour taste, you should discard this ingredient and replace it with a fresh one, as it will simply curdle when boiling and ruin the gravy. You also need to carefully monitor the composition. Sour cream reconstituted from powder will form unattractive flakes.
Important rules:
- The dish contains flour. To get rid of small spores, flour bugs and lumps, it is definitely recommended to sift the flour through a sieve.
- The sauce will not only become tastier, but also more beautiful when the flour mass is sautéed. Add cold water, milk and broth in a thin stream.
- For a more uniform consistency, it is recommended to rub the sauce through a sieve. Small pieces of vegetables, mushrooms and just lumps can ruin any recipe.
- To find balance and improve taste, the fat content of the sauce depends on the parts of the chicken carcass.
- There are complex seasonings on the market. You can change the composition according to your taste and wishes.
- The sauce is especially tasty hot. It is advisable to make one serving at a time, since the heated version is no longer as tasty.
