Instructions
Over medium-high heat melt butter in a saucepan. Slowly sprinkle in flour, incorporating well into the butter until flour and butter are all combined and a “paste” is formed.
Slowly whisk in milk, breaking up any lumps that form. Reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally until the milk begins to thicken (about 8-10 minutes). Add cayenne to the sauce.
Remove from hot and whisk in cheddar cheese a little at a time until all cheese has been melted, stir in hot sauce. Sample the sauce and add additional salt and pepper as desired.
