Como fazer Basic Cheese Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and no lumps remain (this is your roux).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese!), stirring until completely melted and smooth.
