In cold milk, add sugar, salt, nutmeg and smoked paprika.

Once it warms up a bit I take it off the heat

In another saucepan add the butter and let it melt over low heat.

Add the flour, stirring constantly.

When the smell of raw flour is gone,  it is ready.

Add the warm milk and stir with the whisk.

Once it starts to bubbling it is ready.
