This is a simple recipe for an all-purpose light cheese sauce; pour over vegetables, rice or baked potatoes to add creamy cheesy flavor.

Place 1/4 of the milk and the flour in a small bowl and whisk together to combine.
Pour the remaining milk in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, and warm until just steaming.
Whisk in the flour mixture and cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick, and then remove from heat.
Add the cheese, mustard, paprika, cayenne and salt, and stir until cheese melts.
