+## Ingredients

+- 5 Teaspoons unsalted butter

+- 1 litre whole milk

+1. Put your butter in your pot and let is slowly melt on medium to low heat.
+2. Once the butter is fully melted add the flour and stir it in to make a roux.
+3. Keep stiring your roux on medium low heat until it gets lightly golden brown and starts melling a bit nutty.
+4. Add about a glass of your whole milk and stir until combined, repeat this process until you have a thick sauce in your pan and new milk you add easily combines. Never stop stirring.
+5. At this point you can add the rest of your milk, if you skip the previous step you will end up with lumps of roux that are hard to get out.
+6. Lower your heat to low and keep stiring don't forget to get in the corners of the pot because your sauce will burn easily.
