Steps

1. Melt butter in a medium size skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted, add flour; whisk until it combines into a smooth blond paste and starts to bubble around the edges.
2. Add the milk to the skillet; continue whisking. When milk is incorporated, raise heat to high; bring to a boil; quickly lower the heat to a simmer; allow sauce to thicken slightly. Add cayenne pepper and salt; whisk to combine.
