1
Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure it does not brown.
2
Add Flour
Once the butter is melted, add the flour to the pan. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and slightly golden.
3
Whisk in Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring that there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
4
Season the Sauce
Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the sauce. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
5
Finish and Serve
Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from heat and serve immediately or use in your favorite recipes.
