NOTES : Steeping the milk with peppercorns and a bay leaf infuses great flavor,

but you can bypass that step if you choose. Try a

mixture of cheddar and Swiss for a great variation on this classic sauce. In

fact, almost any cheese will work. Steep the milk with

peppercorns and bay leaf in a medium saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to add

flavor. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Strain

milk mixture through a sieve; discard solids. Make a slurry by gradually adding

the aromatic milk mixture to the flour in a small

pan over low heat. Stirring constantly, cook 5 minutes or until the mixture

coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and stir in

cheese.
