  • 1) Melt the butter over medium heat, add the flour, and stir well, letting the flour cook for about 2 minutes. 2) Then pour in the room-temperature milk in a thin stream, whisking constantly to keep lumps from forming. Bring the milk to a boil, add the spices, and salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for another minute; if it's too thin, cook it a little longer, but keep in mind it will thicken a bit more as it cools. Serve the sauce warm. It keeps in the refrigerator for two to three days. Enjoy!
