1/4 cup AP flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla, I often use a clear vanilla extract just to keep the sauce white
Nutmeg, if you have freshly ground nutmeg, use it!
In a large saucepan, whisk together the flour and sugar. Set heat to medium and add the milk. Whisk together and then continue stirring more or less constantly until it begins to bubble and is thickened. You can raise the heat a bit, but watch carefully as this will burn if you are not stirring constantly.
When the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Add the butter and vanilla and stir to combine. Pour over hot waffles and grate or sprinkle nutmeg over the top.
* I often double this sauce recipe and freeze the extra amount in small containers for individual breakfasts.
