2 tablespoons Butter
2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
1.5 cups Milk
0.25 teaspoon Salt
0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
2 slices Toast (For serving)

1In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a smooth roux. Be careful not to burn the butter.
3Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. This will prevent lumps from forming.
