Make roux yourself 3 ingredients

For the roux recipe, start by heating the butter in a skillet over medium heat. The butter will melt more evenly and prevent the flour from burning if you wait for all the butter to melt before adding the flour.

Once the butter is completely melted, add the flour. This is where a trick I've learned over the years comes into play: Adding the flour in small amounts helps prevent lumps and makes for a smooth mixture.

After adding the flour, stir the mixture constantly for about 2-3 minutes. This step, known as \roasting\, lightly cooks the flour and helps remove the raw flour flavor.

But be careful that the mixture does not turn brown - a good roux should have a golden color. Too dark, and it will have a bitter taste.

Now slowly add the broth, stirring constantly to make sure there are no lumps. A tip I learned from my grandmother is to add the broth hot, as it mixes better with the roux and creates a smoother consistency.

Your homemade roux is now ready to use in your favorite dish!
