Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is fully melted, add the coconut flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a smooth roux, being careful not to brown the mixture.

Season the sauce with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg, adjusting to taste if necessary.
