There's def. plenty of room for healthy improvement but it's so good as is. :)

I plan to make some changes in the future though.

Melt butter in med. saucepan over med. heat.
Stir in flour until smooth; cook 1 min, stirring constantly.
Stir in milk, salt and cayenne pepper.
Heat to a boil; reduce heat.
Simmer 1 min. or until thickened, stirring frequently.
