**Ingredients**
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1½ cups shredded sharp or aged Cheddar cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
**Instructions**
1. **Prepare the Roux:**
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
- Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter. Whisk continuously for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture turns golden and forms a smooth paste. This is your roux.
2. **Add Milk:**
- Gradually add the milk to the roux while stirring with a wooden spoon. Keep stirring to prevent any lumps. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a sauce consistency.
3. **Melt the Cheese:**
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded Cheddar cheese to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. **Season:**
- Season the cheese sauce with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
