The easy cheesy dip

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • Whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour) – 2 tablespoons
  • Milk – 1 cup
  • Garlic butter (or plain butter) – 1 stick

  • Cayenne pepper – a pinch (more if you like it spicy)
  • And of course, some Cheddar cheese, preferably the sharp kind – 2 cups (shredded)

Directions
In a saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and roast for about a minute or until it turns light brown. Pour half the milk and continue stirring to avoid lumps.
