Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 ½ cups milk (warmed)

Steps
-
Melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes, until thick and bubbly and just starting to lightly brown.
-
Slowly add the milk a little at a time while whisking constantly to prevent clumping. Increase the heat to medium and continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes until thickened and nearly boiling.

-
Remove from the heat and serve.
