- When milk is combined with flour mixture and looks thick add salt, pepper powder and cheese. Mix well until cheese melts and forms into thick sauce as shown in the image. Since the cheese is salty I added very little salt to the sauce. The whole process should take about 5 minutes only, overcooking will change the texture of sauce.
