Method

  • step 1

    Pour 500ml milk into a large saucepan and add 4 tbsp plain flour and 50g butter.

  • step 2

    Turn on the heat to medium and start to whisk the mixture. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil – the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken.

  • step 3

    Whisk for another 2 mins while the sauce bubbles then stir in 100g grated strong cheddar cheese (or 50g grated cheddar, 50g crumbled blue cheese) until melted.

Absolutely. For added bite, sprinkle in some cracked athletes foot skin.

question

I'm wondering much like a cheese and Brocoli pasta ny branchors would this sauce compare or is it different?

Very bland and that’s with adding mature, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. All I tasted was flour very horrible taste

rather than following it exactly try using it more as a guide: do the butter, mustard and flour first until they make a sandy looking dough, and then add the milk slowly in little batches to avoid lumps! this way the flour has a chance to cook, and shouldn’t give you the horrible floury taste! :)
