The Basic Steps for a Bechamel Sauce are:
1. Melt butter in a saucepan 
2. Add flour, stirring until it is fully mixed into the butter 
3. Slowly add milk and stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens 
4. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg

I was in the middle of making a Bechamel Sauce, when I realized I needed to make a substitution for the wheat flour, but what gluten free flour should I use? 

I did some research online, and found that there are lots of different options for gluten free flours. But which one would give my sauce the right taste and texture?

I am so excited to try out all the different gluten-free flours for my bechamel sauce. I mean, who wouldn't be excited about that? I start with the corn starch and it just didn't seem to work right. The sauce was too thick and it didn't taste very good. Next up was the rice flour. Rice flour is one of my favorite gluten-free flour, so I had high hopes for it. It works but is a bit tasteless.  Well, it is rice flour - rice has not much flavor. Finally, I tried the millet flour and it worked like a charm! The sauce was of perfect thickness and flavor! 

One lesson learned though is that a very good bechamel sauce uses very tasty butter.  Now I live in Ireland and we got plenty of tasty butter.
