- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk

- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Step by Step Instructions:
3. Add the garlic and white parts of green onion to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
4. Add the flour to the skillet while whisking constantly so it doesn’t clump together or burn. Cook for another minute or two.
