Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 4 tablespoon Plain flour
- 50 g Butter
- 80 g Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Put 500 ml Whole milk in a saucepan with the 4 tablespoon Plain flour and 50 g Butter.
- Over a medium heat, whisk until the butter has melted and the flour has mixed in.
- Once the sauce starts to thicken (2-3 minutes), remove from the heat and stir in 80 g Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Mix until the cheese has melted.
Notes
- Make sure you sieve the flour before adding it to the pan, as this will help to get a nice smooth sauce.
- If you are reheating this sauce, then you may need to add a little milk to thin it out.
- Make sure you stir it constantly when reheating, otherwise you risk the sauce splitting.
- Add a splash of hot sauce like Sriracha to give this sauce a kick.
- You can use any cheese that melts well, but we don't recommend mozzarella, because it makes the sauce too stringy.
