Instructions
-
1Melt cannabis butter in a pot. Add all the flour at once and whisk for 2 minutes to make a roux (flour paste).
-
2Gradually add warm milk while stirring constantly — at first it will be lumpy, this is normal.
-
3Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and glossy.
-
4Season with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg.
-
5Use immediately, or cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Pro Tips
- Milk should be warm — this prevents lumps.
- More cannabis butter = more potent effect, but also stronger flavor.
- For cheese sauce: stir in 3.5 oz (100g) grated Gruyère.
