Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the dairy aisle and baking section of supermarkets or neighborhood grocery stores. If needed, use an unsalted butter substitute only if you can keep the flavor balanced, but butter is ideal.

- Heat the milk until it just begins to boil, then set it aside.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan.
- Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter.
- Mix well until you get a smooth paste.
- Gradually add the heated milk to the pan, a little at a time.
- Stir constantly with a whisk or spoon to prevent lumps from forming.
- Cook the sauce over low heat for a few moments until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Finish seasoning with salt, nutmeg, and white pepper to taste.
