Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Watch closely so it doesn’t brown.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly but not browned.

- Serve hot over toast, biscuits, mashed potatoes, or rice and enjoy!
Notes
You can swap butter/flour with canned cream soup if in a rush. Non-stick pans help ease cleanup. Use toast, potatoes, or biscuits for serving.
