Steps

1
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
2
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
3
Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar until fully melted and smooth.
4
Season with mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, and cayenne.
5
Serve immediately — the sauce thickens as it cools. Add a splash of milk to loosen if needed.
