Roux


equal parts butter and flour

Melt butter slowly and add flour.

For white roux: Cook briefly just to lose the raw taste of the flour. It is finished when still very light.

For blond roux: Cook longer than white roux but still fairly light in color.

For brown roux: Cook longer than blond roux. Should be a medium-light brown in color.
