Ingredients

2 pounds butter
2 pounds flour

Instructions

To make roux, melt butter over medium heat and stir in the flour with a whisk. Cook the roux for 5 minutes stirring constantly. When done the roux will be lightly browned and have a nutty aroma.

If not using the roux immediately store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container so it doesn't absorb food odors. Always add roux to your sauces slowly, while they are boiling so you don't over thicken them or impart a flour flavor.
