Heat the butter in a tall, narrow saucepan and briefly sauté the flour. Then pour in the milk and, while it’s boiling, stir until smooth using the whisk attachment. You can season the milk while it’s still boiling, but you can also wait until afterward. This modified béchamel sauce goes well with broccoli and potatoes, but also with asparagus.
