For a richer flavor, try using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle spice to the sauce. If you're short on time, frozen pearl onions can be used. Simply thaw them before cooking. To prevent the milk from scorching, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir frequently. For a more complex flavor profile, sauté a finely minced shallot or garlic in the butter before adding the flour.
