Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 c Butter
  • 1/4 c Flour
  • 2 c Milk or Half & Half

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in sauce pan. Be careful not to let the butter brown, we want this to be a white sauce.
  • Whisk flour into butter and cook 2-3 minutes. This will create a paste.
  • Slowly add in the milk, 1/2 cup at a time. Simmer over low heat until sauce thickens.
