Notes
- Make sure you sieve the flour before adding it to the pan, as this will help to get a nice smooth sauce.
- If you are reheating this sauce, then you may need to add a little milk to thin it out.
- Make sure you stir it constantly when reheating, otherwise you risk the sauce splitting.
- Add a splash of hot sauce like Sriracha to give this sauce a kick.
- You can use any cheese that melts well, but we don't recommend mozzarella, because it makes the sauce too stringy.
