Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat the milk in a pot over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. 
2. While the milk warms, melt the butter in a small pot. Once melted, add the flour and stir to form a roux. It will be thick. 
3. Slowly add the hot milk into the flour mixture, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. 
4. Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Add cayenne, if using, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
