    To make the peppercorn sauce , make a quick roux with the butter and flour. In a pot melt butter over medium heat add to that the flour little by little stirring constantly. Until you have a smooth thick paste. Add the milk a little to begin with stirring constantly until the sauce begins to thicken add the mustard and stir in well this will give the sauce the rich tan colour . Stir in the chicken stock making sure there is no lumps and to the consistently thickness you like your pepper sauce . Keep stirring add to that the peppercorn , turn heat on low and simmer for few minutes until the peppercorns just soften a little . Turn off the heat and cover your sauce with a sheet of cling film , this will prevent a skin forming over the peppercorn sauce until you are ready to serve it ..
