Step 1

Add the milk to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat the milk until it starts to steam. It shouldn't boil or simmer at all! Give it a couple of stirs to prevent a skin from forming on the top. Set the warm milk aside.

Step 2

In another medium saucepan, add the butter over medium heat. Melt it completely.

Step 3

Once melted, remove it from the heat. Then, shoot in the AP flour and whisk it vigorously. You should have very coarse breadcrumb-like granules. It can also turn into a paste.

Step 4

Once you have a uniform butter-flour mixture, add a tablespoon of warm milk. Whisk it in very well, making sure to get the edges of the pan as well.

Step 5

After the milk has been thoroughly whisked in, add a little bit more. Keep repeating this process. Don't add more milk until the previous addition is completely incorporated.

Step 6

When all of the milk has been whisked in, place the saucepan back onto the heat.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Then, reduce the heat and allow the cream sauce base to simmer for about 5 minutes.
