Instructions
- Allow the milk to sit on the counter for 30 minutes or lightly warm it.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, while whisking, for 4 minutes without browning.
- Gradually whisk in a little bit of milk at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. It will be thick and pasty at first.
- Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep at a low boil for 5 minutes, whisking often, until sauce is thick and creamy.
- Stir in salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
