Ingredients
Preparation
First, finely chop the jalapenos so they can perfectly release their fiery spice into the sauce.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Whisk in the flour quickly to create a smooth roux. Make sure it doesn't get too dark – it should only take on a little color.
Gradually pour the milk into the pan while stirring constantly to prevent lumps and achieve a wonderfully creamy consistency.
Now reduce the heat and add the grated cheddar. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and forms a glossy, homogeneous mixture.
Finally, fold in the finely chopped jalapenos and season with a pinch of salt and the paprika powder. A quick stir is enough, and your golden-yellow cheese dream is ready!
My tip: If the sauce becomes too thick, simply stir in a little more milk until it reaches your perfect consistency.
