Instructions
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter* over low heat, until foamy.
With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour until a thin paste forms. This is called a "roux."
Whisk in the milk until smooth.
Stirring occasionally, cook 10 to 12 minutes, until simmering, thick, and smooth.
Simmer 2 minutes to "cook out" the flour taste.
Season with the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
