I made a basic cheese sauce to eat fresh pretzels with. I got a starter recipe here. I made a half batch and added spices. It’s delicious. It was plenty for four small homemade pretzels.

1 TBL butter
1 TBL flour
Spices to taste: granulated garlic, ground pepper, cayenne
Combine these in a small sauce pan on medium-high heat, melt butter, and stir until butter starts to brown, and then add:
1/2 cup of milk
stir until combined, and then add:
4 oz – shredded sharp cheddar
