Stir constantly to avoid lumping. Stirring quickly and vigorously is very important! Once flour and butter is a creamy, smooth mixture, slowly add the warm milk. Stir continuously, so that it doesn't clump. Bring mixture to a boil to thicken your beshamel sauce. Stir. Boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer. Add cheese and again stir constantly until the cheese is melted. Cover and keep on low, stirring every few minutes until ready to use. If mixture sits too long, it will thicken. Simply add 1/4 cup of warm milk to thin out. posted by Almaz
