Equipment
- Medium-sized saucepan
- Whisk or wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Grater (if needed)
- Heat-resistant spatula (optional)
- Stove or cooktop
- Serving dish or bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups sour milk (you can easily make sour milk at home by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes, until the mixture becomes smooth and golden.
- Slowly pour in the sour milk while whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shredded cheese to the saucepan and continue whisking until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. This process typically takes 5-6 minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle in the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Whisk the sauce for an additional minute to ensure that all the flavors are well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sour milk cheese sauce cool slightly before serving.
