Ingredients
- •- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- •- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- •- 2 cups whole milk, room temperature
- •- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- •- 1/2 cup white American cheese, shredded
- •- 1 tsp kosher salt
- •- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- •- 1/8 tsp ground mustard powder
- •- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- 11. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 2 minutes.
- 22. Whisk in flour quickly, creating a smooth roux. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture turns pale golden and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes.
- 33. Gradually pour in milk, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until mixture thickens and begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- 44. Reduce heat to low. Add grated cheeses in three separate additions, stirring between each to create a silky smooth texture.
- 55. Incorporate salt, white pepper, mustard powder, and cayenne. Whisk until completely integrated and sauce is glossy.
- 66. Remove from heat. Let stand 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
