Time 5m

Yield About 1 cup sauce

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk (not skim), more as needed
1 cup coarsely grated Cheddar cheese
Steamed fresh or frozen broccoli florets

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly, fragrant and just golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in about 1/3 of the milk and bring to a simmer. Repeat twice more with remaining milk, continuing to whisk as sauce thickens and reducing heat if it boils.
  • Whisk in the cheese and heat through. If sauce is too thick, whisk in a little more milk. Pour into small bowls for dipping and serve with broccoli.
