+1. Prepare your ingredients: shred the cheese, measure out the | |
+butter and milk, have the flour handy. | |
+ | |
+2. Meanwhile, set a medium sized pot on the stove. Turn heat to | |
+medium and add the butter. | |
+ | |
+3. Wait for the butter to melt and begin to sizzle (if it appears | |
+too hot and steams, turn down the heat!) Then: scatter the flour | |
+ontop of the butter. Vigourously whisk the flour into the butter. | |
+Mind the heat--if things stick to the bottom of the pan it's too | |
+hot. | |
+ | |
+4. Add 1/2 of the milk into the flour and butter mixture. Quickly | |
+and vigourously whisk to combine. Let the mixture thicken. If it's | |
+slow to do so you can increase the temperature a wee bit. | |
+ | |
+5. Once the milk+butter+flour mixture has the consistency of a thick | |
+soup, add the remaining 1/2 of milk. Whisk to combine. Let the | |
+mixture thicken. Again, increase the temperature if it's slow to | |
+thicken. | |
+ | |
+6. Once the mixture has a drooping consistency turn off the heat. | |
+Add the cheese into the mixture and whisk to combine. | |
+ | |
+7. Either cover the mixture, set aside, and proceed to the pasta | |
+directions, or pour the sauce onto of your cooked pasta and serve. | |
