Step 1

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add in flour and increase heat to medium. Whisk together and let cook for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Slowly pour in milk, whisking to combine.

Step 3

Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly while it heats. Just as it comes to a simmer, it will thicken up and should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Season by stirring in nutmeg, salt, and white pepper to taste. Serve hot.
