Ingredients

1 servings
  • ¼ cup butter (or fat such as drippings)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Steps

  1. Melt butter (or fat) in a saucepan and whisk in flour until smooth. Allow it to bubble for at least 1 minute while mixing. 

  2. For a blonde roux, allow it to cook a minute or so. For a dark roux, cook the flour/fat mixture longer while whisking, until it reaches a golden dark caramel color.

  3. Add cold liquid a little at a time while whisking until smooth after each addition.

  4. Add remaining liquid and seasonings, simmer a couple of minutes.
