• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups hot milk

1. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, blend in the flour with a wooden spoon, and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until butter and flour foam together for 2 minutes without turning more than a buttery yellow color.
2. Remove from heat, and when bubbling stops, vigorously whisk in all the hot milk at once.
3. Bring to the boil, whisking.
4. Simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes.
5. Season to taste.
