An essential technique for thickening a sauce, everyone should know this!
Ingredients
- 50 grams butter
- 50 grams flour
Method
Step 1
Melt the butter, add the flour and cook gently for five minutes, taking care that the mixture does not colour.
Step 2
Allow to cool and refrigerate. This will last for a few days if kept covered and can then be added into sauces to thicken them.
Step 3
The roux must be stirred into a hot sauce, otherwise it is likely to form lumps.
