In a small pot on the stove:
Melt just shy of 2 Tablespoons butter
Add pinch of salt & pepper
Add 1 Tablespoon AP flour -- stir to mix it all together -- it will bubble a bit -- but don't let it burn.
Add the microwaved milk all in one shot.
Begin to stir gently with a wooden spoon immediately.
Add nutmeg -- maybe 1/8 teaspoon.
Keep stirring until it thickens. It won't take long.
It will keep thickening after you remove it from the heat -- so err on the thin side.
Use Immediately or stir occassionally as it cools and refrigerate.
You can add a handful of shredded cheddar as it begins to thicken for a cheese sauce.
