Preparation procedure

  • In a pot over medium heat melt the butter. Add the plain flour and, stirring constantly, make a light roux that must not brown.
  • Pour in the milk and whisk quickly to prevent lumps. Then gradually add the stock and cook until the sauce is smooth and lightly thickened.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add the cream. Simmer over low heat for about 3 more minutes.
  • Finely chop the fresh dill and stir it into the sauce. Briefly simmer, then season with sugar and vinegar. The resulting flavor should be mildly sweet-and-sour.
  • Serve with boiled potatoes and an egg, or with beef or a homemade dumpling.
