Instructions

 

• In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
• Add all-purpose flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously until a smooth paste, called a roux, forms. Cook the roux for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
• Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
• Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
• Reduce the heat to low and let the Velouté sauce cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop its flavors and ensure a smooth consistency.
• Season the sauce with salt and ground white pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and let the Velouté sauce cool down for a few minutes.
• The sauce is now ready to be used as a base or drizzle for your favorite dishes.
