  1. Put a small saucepan on low heat and add the butter, letting it melt slowly and gently.
  2. Add the flour to the melted butter, whisking well until the flour disappears and the mixture is creamy.
  3. Add one quarter of the milk and stir gently on medium-low heat.
  4. As the mixture dries out, add more milk little by little, stirring all the time.
  5. When the sauce reaches the thickness you want, turn off the heat and stop stirring.
  6. Stir in a little nutmeg and salt to taste.
