Creamy Dill Sauce Recipe - Super Easy! Annie's Kitchen

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into small pieces for quick melting)
• 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (for the roux; sifted if possible)
• 1 cup Whole Milk (cold milk; can use 2% or whole for richer flavor)
• 0.25 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground if possible)
• pinch Ground Nutmeg (optional, adds warm depth)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped finely; add at the end)

Instructions

1. Melt Butter

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the butter pieces. Stir until fully melted.

3. Add Milk Gradually

   Slowly pour the cold milk into the roux while whisking constantly. Add the milk in a steady stream, whisking after each addition to keep the sauce smooth.

5. Add Fresh Dill

   Reduce the heat to low and fold in the chopped fresh dill. Cook for about 2 minutes, just enough for the dill flavor to infuse without losing its bright color.
