Ingredients

  • 570 g cold milk
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 40 g plain flour
  • 50 g cheese, grated
  • lemon juice

Step 1: Mix ingredients

Simply place the butter, flour and milk together in a heavy-bottomed pan. The milk must be cold or you will get lumpy sauce.

Step 2: Warm

Place the pan over a medium heat, whisking all the time until the sauce starts to thicken. Once thick, add the cheese and mix until smooth, then mix in a squeeze of lemon juice.
