6 servings
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup lager beer, at room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- pretzels, tortilla chips, or sliced baguette, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Grate the cheddar on the large holes of a box grater (or pulse in a food processor) and set aside at room temperature — cold cheese added to a hot sauce can seize and turn grainy.
- 2
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute, until the mixture smells faintly nutty and turns a pale golden color.
