3. In a separate pan, melt the butter on a medium heat. Add the flour and mix to a paste. Cook for a couple of minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, cook until thickened. Add the stock cube and water and season. Mix well until thick.

4. Mix the above three components together with a tablespoon of mustard. Cover and cook on low heat for ~5 mins or so until everything is incorporated.
