(Français) Preparing the roux: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour all at once and mix well with a whisk to make a roux (a smooth mixture of butter and flour). Let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes without letting the flour brown.
Adding the milk: Gradually pour the milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to lightly boil.
Seasoning: Add the grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
Finishing: Remove from heat and serve the sauce hot over vegetables, pasta, or in gratin dishes.
