Ingredients
- 2 TBSP butter
- 2 TBSP flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
I use sharp cheddar cheese, but any kind of cheddar is fine.
Instructions
In a small to medium pot, over medium heat, melt the butter and bring it to a boil.
While continuously and vigorously stirring, pour in the flour.
Continuously stir for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the milk and stir frequently.
As the milk starts to heat up more and come to a boiling point, stir continuously again while adding the shredded cheese.
Stir for a few minutes, or until the sauce thickens up. It won’t take long.
Remove from the heat and cover with a lid until you are ready to use your cheese sauce.
That’s it! Congratulations, you made a roux (thickening agent made of equal parts butter and flour).
