Step-by-Step Instructions

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until a smooth paste is formed, creating a solid base for your sauce.
Pour the milk slowly while stirring continuously; continue cooking and stirring for about 2 minutes until fully integrated. Then, introduce the cheese.
Keep stirring as the cheese melts away into a velvety sauce, taking around 1 to 2 minutes to finish.
