Making the homemade cheese sauce – 10 minutes

Melt the butter in a saucepan, as soon as the butter stops bubbling, add the flour all at once. Stir well and cook the flour for a few minutes on low heat, the roux is now ready.

Gradually add the milk, beating continuously with a whisk. Let the sauce thicken for a few minutes and then stir in the grated cheese in batches. Beat until smooth, with a whisk.
