Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons sodium citrate powder
1 8 oz bag of shredded cheese (preferably softer cheese like cheddar or Colby jack)
Directions
1
Heat milk in a sauce pot on medium-low heat until white whisps of steam begin to appear from the surface of the liquid.
2
Stir in sodium citrate with a whisk to dissolve and allow the milk mixture to scald (bubbles form around the outer surface and the edges begin to creep up the sides of the pan).
3
Turn off heat and begin to stir in cheese on small handful at a time, whisking until the cheese has fully melted. Repeat the process until all the cheese is incorporated. If the sauce begins to look clumpy, turn on a low flame under the pan to help incorporate the melted cheese.
