Method
Cheese Sauce Directions
- 1
Make the Roux
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly and golden in color.
- 2
Add the Milk
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
