Directions:
Add the onion piquet to the milk in a heavy saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes.

In a separate pot, make a white roux with the flour and butter.

Remove the onion piquet from the milk. Gradually add the hot milk to the roux while stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the sauce to a simmer, add seasonings and continue cooking for 30 minutes.

Strain the sauce through a china cap lined with cheesecloth. Melted butter can be carefully ladled over the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
