Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon tumeric (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once bubbling, stir in the flour and whisk until a golden-colored paste forms, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slowly pour in the milk a little at a time. Whisking constantly over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. The sauce will begin to thicken at this point.

  3. 3

    Turn the heat down to low, and whisk continuously as the sauce simmers on low for about five minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with spices to taste and add herbs if desired.
