Flour really is the key ingredient in getting cheese to melt into a white sauce. Can't skimp on the flour.

I usually go equal amount butter & flour, it seems to work.

How much milk do you put in for, say 2 tbsp butter/2 tbsp flour? I kinda just eyeball it.

For some reason, I used to have it down pat, but when I swapped to raw milk things changed somehow and my white sauce skills fell down the drain.

Yeah I usually measure.

Yeah but how much milk

Oh lol. I start with just a bit to start the sauce, then tweak it to thickness depending on what I'm making it for. Milk is variable. Thicker for cheese sauce. I like it sticky.

👌

Chef Jay?

Just trying my best not to cry when I make cheese sauce ✌️

Cheese refusing to melt is one of the saddest things.

I'll cry, cheese should always melt

You understand 🫂

I honestly can't be bothered making a rue and I just use egg

Isn't that a carbonara?
