Once the flour has absorbed all the milk, the mixture will be thick. |

Keep adding the milk and keep stirring until you get the right consistency. It might get lumpy but keep stirring and keep adding milk until the sauce is runny |
Once you get the correct consistency add salt and pepper to taste. Note: the sauce thicken pretty fast so if you do not use it right away, you will need to add more milk when you re-heated it. |
