Comment préparer Kittencal's White Sauce Roux

  1. **Stovetop Method:**
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour continuously for 1 minute, creating a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk or cream, ensuring no lumps form.
  5. Continue whisking constantly until the sauce thickens and bubbles gently (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. **Microwave Method:**
  8. Combine 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour in a 6-8 cup microwave-safe bowl.
  9. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, stirring well.
  10. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk or cream.
  11. Microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until thickened and bubbly (about 3-4 minutes total).
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. **Cooling & Storage:** To prevent a skin from forming, cover the cooled sauce directly with wax paper.
  14. **Variations:**
  15. • **Velouté Sauce:** Substitute 2 cups of chicken or beef broth for the cream.
  16. • **Cheese Sauce:** Stir in 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard along with the salt and pepper.
