1
- Melt butter in a pan and add flour on low flame. Sauté for 1 minute till very light golden in colour.
- Now switch to a whisk and begin pouring in the hot milk, a little at a time, continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Continue till all of the milk in added in.

- Remember the sauce will further thicken on cooling, so keep it slightly thinner than the final consistency you want, when you stop cooking.
- You can skip cheese, but I recommend adding it for the yumminess.
- Do not overcook the flour.
- Add fresh or dry herbs of your choice.
