Warm the milk on low heat so that it is hot but not boiling.
In a separate pot, heat the butter on a low flame. As soon as the butter is melted, add the flour and stir with a whisk without letting the roux take on any color.
Now add the warm milk, stirring constantly.
Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with the whisk, until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Season with salt, freshly ground pepper, and freshly ground nutmeg.
