1
Make the Roux
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
2
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
3
Incorporate Cheese
Reduce the heat to low, then add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
4
Season the Sauce
Stir in the salt, black pepper, mustard powder, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
