Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup flour
2 cups warm milk
salt
white pepper
2 cups well-flavored chicken stock
1 cup shredded cheese , of choice

Directions:

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook 2 minutes to cook away the raw taste of the flour.

Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
To make Veloute Sauce: Substitute the chicken stock for the milk.
