Roux Sauce Ingredients
– Butter – All-purpose flour
Step 1
Melt butter over medium-low heat in a pan on the stove. Once it melts, add in flour and whisk it through.
Step 2
Cook until the flour and butter combine completely. It will begin to thicken and bubble. If making a white roux, you can stop here and take it off the heat.
Step 3
For a blond roux, cook for 10 minutes while stirring as necessary to keep it from burning. If making a brown roux, cook it for up to 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
