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

  • Add cold liquid a little at a time while whisking until smooth after each addition.
  • Add remaining liquid and seasonings, simmer a couple of minutes.

Recipe Notes

This roux recipe will mix well with about 3 cups of liquid and produce a medium consistency sauce. Start with less liquid and add more until you reach the desired consistency for your sauce.
