Brown Roux

4 servings

Ingredients

• Butter (a little)
• 1 tbsp Flour

Instructions

1. Let a generous piece of butter brown in a saucepan, then add 1 spoon of flour and stir constantly until it has taken on a beautiful brown color; however, it must not burn.
2. For some dishes, such as brown flour soups or game ragouts, the flour can also be browned without butter: To do this, brown it in a very clean pan over the heat, stirring constantly.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
