Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/3 cup butter unsalted
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 cups milk whole
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground; whole
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and use a wire whisk to blend it with the butter. Let the mixture bubble for 2 minutes until light golden, continually whisking. Gradually add the milk while continually whisking to prevent lumps and whisk until smooth. Slowly bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened, whisking frequently to prevent lumps and scorching. Add the Parmesan cheese, salt and nutmeg and whisk until smooth. Simmer for another minute then remove from heat. (If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk.) Add salt to taste.Makes about 4 cups.
