While you make white sauce. Melt butter in a small pan then add enough flour about 2 -3 dessert spoons and mix with a balloon whisk to make a roux it should not be too dry ( if it look to dry add a bit more butter and whisk up quickly if too wet add more flour) or wet and cook for 1 minute.

Add the milk gradually and slowly simmer stirring all the time with the whisk until it thickens about 5 - 10 mins then add nutmeg if you want to.
