To accompany Mario Batali's 'Timpano di Maccheronni (the Mythic Pasta Dome)', Timpano Di Maccheroni (The Mythic Pasta Dome).

1
Heat butter in a medium saucepan until melted.
2
Add flour, stirring until smooth.
3
Cook gently over medium heat until light golden brown, 6-7 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan until almost boiling.
5
Add milk to the butter mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until very smooth.
6
If lumps begin to form, you need to adjust the heat up a bit higher.
7
Bring to a boil, and cook for 30 seconds, continuing to stir.
8
Remove from the heat and season with salt and nutmeg.
9
Note: After I had brought it to a boil and let it cook for 30 seconds, it was still too liquidy.
10
I continued to cook it over high heat, stirring constantly, until it thickened down, and began to coat the back of the spoon.
