Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully melted but not browned.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly to form a smooth paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, but do not let the mixture brown.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring and cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Once the sauce has thickened, add the granulated sugar, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Continue to cook the sauce for 1-2 more minutes, stirring frequently, to ensure the flavors are fully developed.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 7

Serve warm over desserts, pancakes, vegetables, or any dish that could use a touch of creamy aromatic flavor.
