8 servings
- 2¼ cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper (or finely ground black pepper)
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Steps
Allow the milk to sit on the counter for 30 minutes or lightly warm it.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, while whisking, for 4 minutes without browning.
Gradually whisk in a little bit of milk at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. It will be thick and pasty at first.
Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep at a low boil for 5 minutes, whisking often, until sauce is thick and creamy.
Stir in salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
