Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup flour
2 ½ cups milk warmed
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch nutmeg

Instructions

Melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes, until thick and bubbly and just starting to lightly brown.
Slowly add the milk a little at a time while whisking constantly to prevent clumping. Increase the heat to medium and continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes until thickened and nearly boiling.
Add salt and pepper to taste as well as 1 pinch of nutmeg. Continue to whisk and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from the heat and serve.
