Easy Cheese Sauce

Ingredients

• 30g Butter
• ¼ cup Plain flour, about 30g
• 400ml Milk
• 1 cup Tasty cheese, about 100g, grated
• Black pepper, to taste

You’ll need: Saucepan, Whisk

Method

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over low–medium heat. Add the flour and stir for 1 minute, until bubbling.

2. 2

   Add the milk a splash at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition.

3. 3

   Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Take off the heat. Stir in the cheese until melted and smooth. Do not boil it after adding the cheese or it can turn grainy.

5. 5

   Season with pepper. Taste before adding salt, as cheese is already salty.
