  3. 3

    Heat the fat in a pot and sauté the remaining onions. Add flour and sauté while stirring. Add 1/4 litre stock, milk and cream, stirring gradually. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in between. Stir mustard into the sauce and season to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice and sugar
