Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Grab your medium saucepan and pour in the milk. Set the heat to medium and let the milk feel the warmth until it starts to steam. No boiling or simmering allowed—just a gentle heat that says, "Hey, I'm here to party!"
  • Give it a couple of loving stirs to prevent any unwanted skin from forming on top.
  • Now, onto another saucepan. Add the butter, and let the heat work its magic. Melt it down completely.
  • Take that melty butter off the heat. Pop in the all-purpose flour and whisk it with all your might, creating little granules. It will resemble a paste-like substance.
  • Once your butter-flour mixture is looking uniform, it's time for some teamwork. Add a tablespoon of that warm milk we set aside earlier. Whisk it in like you're competing in the milk Olympics, making sure to give attention to those pan edges too—no favoritism here!
  • Keep the milk-mingling party going! Add a little more milk, whisk it in, and repeat the process. Don't rush the romance—let the milk and flour dance together in harmony.
  • Place that saucepan back onto the heat. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Then, reduce the heat and let the cream sauce base simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Now just taste and adjust. If you're doing the happy dance because the consistency is on point, it's time for some flavor fireworks. Season the sauce with a pinch of sea salt and a dash of black pepper. Let the flavors mingle, creating a taste sensation that'll make your taste buds boogie!
