Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 2 tablespoons of flour is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid flour, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cups whole milk
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp white pepper

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy but not browned.
2
Add the flour all at once and whisk constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture turns a pale straw color and smells faintly nutty — this cooks out the raw flour taste.
