Step: 2 For now, turn on the heat to medium and begin to whisk the mixture. Whisking fast constantly as the butter liquefies and the mixture comes to a boil – the flour will pass from the sight and the sauce will start to thicken.

Step: 3 Again whisk for the next 2 mins while the sauce bubbles then stir to mix in 100g grated strong cheddar cheese (or 50g grated cheddar, 50g crumbled blue cheese) till it melted.
