This classic bread sauce is the perfect accompaniment to turkey or chicken.
Ingredients
- 625ml whole milk
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 peppercorns
- 1 onion, halved
- 6 cloves
- 75g wholemeal breadcrumbs
- 75g white breadcrumbs
- Knob of butter, softened
- Good splash of double cream
- Grating of nutmeg
Method
- 1. Put the milk in a pan with the bay leaves and peppercorns, stud the onion halves with the cloves and add to the milk. Heat over a medium heat until the milk just begins to boil, then remove, cover and set aside for an hour or so to infuse. Using a slotted spoon, remove the solids and discard.
