Instructions
- 1Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. If the skins are tough or discolored, peel them. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces or thin slices.
- 2Immediately toss the cut mushrooms with the lemon juice to prevent them from turning dark/black. Alternatively, submerge them briefly in a bowl of water mixed with the lemon juice, then drain well.
- 3Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and fry them until they are tender and any released liquid has mostly evaporated.
- 4Sprinkle the flour over the cooked mushrooms and butter. Stir constantly for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste, creating a base for the thickened sauce.
- 5Gradually pour in the cream (or milk) while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
- 6Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
