Instructions

1

Melt 3 tbsp. butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until it begins to foam, which should take one to two minutes.
2

Add 1/3 cup flour immediately after the butter foams, and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly with a wire whisk or fork. Make sure the whisk or fork reaches the very bottom of the pan with each stroke to incorporate all the flour into the butter.

3

Pour in 4 cups milk slowly while whisking constantly to ensure the flour absorbs the milk without causing lumps. If lumps appear anyway, continue whisking vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth.
4

Increase the heat to high, and bring the sauce to a gentle boil, whisking constantly to prevent the flour from sinking to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low immediately after the sauce begins to boil, and whisk until the sauce is thick and smooth, about five minutes.
5

Season the sauce to taste with salt and white pepper. Remove the amount of sauce you need for the dish you are preparing, and allow the remainder to cool. Transfer cooled sauce to airtight containers and freeze until needed, up to two months.
