Ingredients
5 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Preparation
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk into the melted butter until smooth. Cook and stir until flour turns a light, golden, sandy color, about 7 minutes.
Step 3
Increase heat to medium-high and slowly whisk in milk until thickened by the roux. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and continue simmering until the flour has softened and no longer tastes gritty, 10 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
Season with salt and nutmeg.
Step 5
Serve hot and enjoy!
