A Roux is used as a thickening agent for sauces, soups, etc... It is a handy tool to have in your pocket!
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. Coconut or Whole Grain Buckwheat Flour
- 4 Tbsp. Butter or Ghee
- (equal parts flour to fat)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small saucepan.
- Slowly whisk in flour.
- Continue to whisk until the Rue is thickened and it begins to lose its floury smell. It starts to smell more nutty.
- Do not cook on too high a heat or it will burn.
- The longer you cook it, the darker it gets.
