Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Spoon
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 ¼ cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Flour
  • 1 teaspoon White Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Grarlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour to it. Cook for about 2 minutes to make 'roux'
  • Whip it continuously to get rid of any starchy flavor before adding any ingredient.
  • Pour in milk slowly while stirring the mixture to avoid the formation of lumps.
  • You may now add the onion powder and white pepper to the mix.
  • I have also added a splash of garlic powder to add an extra edge to the sauce (completely optional).
  • Mix well until the mixture reaches a boil and thickens. Now, remove the pan from heat.
  • Add grated cheddar and parmesan cheese to the mixture and keep whisking for about 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
