  When melted and the foaming subsides, add the flour.

  Cook until the mixture resembles a thick paste, about 2 – 3 minutes.

  Chef’s Note: Mixing a fat with flour is called making a Rue, and it is used as a thickener for sauces, soups, and stews.

  Slowly whisk the milk in, and stir, while lightly simmering, until the sauce thickens, about 2 – 3 minutes.

  Add the parmesan cheese, mustard, and honey, and stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, about 2 – 3 minutes.
