Method

Melt a quantity of butter (depending on how much sauce you require. The more butter, the more sauce you will create).

Once melted, add equal amount of plain flour and stir rapidly with fork until mixed.

Let bubble on low to medium heat for 1 minute (must watch for the whole minute) stir if necessary.

Remove from heat.

Add a small amount of milk and stir until the milk combines with the flour/butter mixture. Season.

Add another, slightly larger amount of milk and repeat. Add another amount of liquid once preceding amount has been combined.

Keep doing this until you have your desired consistency.

There is no need to return the pan to the heat. Adding the milk in this way - the sauce thickens all on its own.
