  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat.
  3. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles lightly for 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk. Return the pan to medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
