Recipe for Pike Dumplings with Nantua Sauce.

Preparation of the sauce Preheat the oven to 180°C/200°C (thermostat 6-7). Melt the butter over low heat without letting it brown. Add a tablespoon of flour until the butter is absorbed by the flour. Cook gently until the mixture turns blonde and starts to "grain" a little, with a scent of biscuit.

Then pour in the whole milk. The milk needs to be well absorbed by the flour without forming lumps. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Incorporate the cream. Homogenize by heating. Add the seafood butter and mix well (with a whisk).

Cooking Butter a pyrex dish. Arrange the dumplings in the dish. Pour the hot sauce over the dumplings and bake in a preheated oven. Let cook for about 20 minutes (until the dumplings are puffed and golden).
