📝 Preparation Steps
1
Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour, whisk until smooth, then cook while whisking for one minute. Slowly stream in milk while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Add 1 Tablespoon chicken broth then switch to a spatula and cook mixture for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened — you should be able to see the bottom of the pan for a split second after scraping the spatula across it.
