Comment préparer White Sauce

Warm 2 cups of milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not boil.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter over low heat.
Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour all at once and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and smooth (this is called a roux).
Gradually whisk in the warmed milk, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. Continue whisking vigorously to prevent lumps.
Reduce heat to low and continue whisking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
Cook for 2-3 minutes more, stirring constantly, until the sauce is rich, creamy, and smooth.
Remove from heat and season generously with salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste. Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor (optional).
Serve immediately over your favorite vegetables or use as a base for other sauces like cheese sauce or mushroom sauce. Keep warm in a double boiler, uncovered, if needed. Covering will thin the sauce.
