Method

Melt the butter in the Tupperware MicroCook Pitcher 1 l for about 15 seconds at 600 W.
Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and a little grated nutmeg.
Add the milk a little at a time, stirring constantly so no lumps form.
Cover and microwave for about 4 minutes at 600 W, stirring halfway through. Stir again and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
If the sauce is still too thin, heat it again in 1-minute bursts at 600 W, stirring in between.
