How to Make Easy Cream Sauce

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly (this is your roux).
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir in lemon juice (if using).
Serve immediately over your favorite meat, fish, or vegetables. Enjoy!
