Steps
Step 1: Melt the Butter
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Don’t let it brown.
Step 2: Whisk in the Flour
Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly until smooth and lump-free.
Step 3: Cook the Mixture
Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.
Step 4: Gradually Add the Broth
Slowly whisk in the broth, ensuring a smooth consistency. No lumps allowed!
Step 5: Simmer and Thicken
Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
