Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste (this is your roux).
-
Slowly whisk in the warm milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens—about 3–5 minutes.
-
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
-
Add garlic powder, salt, and any optional spices. Stir to combine.
-
Serve warm with soft pretzels.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, try using a mix of cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack.
-
You can keep the dip warm in a small slow cooker or fondue pot if serving for a party.
-
If the dip gets too thick, stir in a splash of milk to thin it out.
