Frying Pan

Drain and cool under cold running water, squeeze thoroughly but gently to remove most of the water, then chop finely.

All Purpose Flour

Equipment you will use

Sauce Pan

Whisk in the warm milk; you don’t need the aromatics, they have done their work. When the sauce starts to thicken, decrease the heat to a low simmer and let it bubble gently for a good fifteen minutes. An occasional stir, taking care to get right in the corners, will prevent it burning.
