How To Make the lovely velouté
-
1Warm your stock in a small pot, set aside to simmer, until needed.
-
2Melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour, stirring together for 1 - 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour flavor. Watch carefully, you don't want the roux to brown.
-
3Next gently pour in the warmed stock, whisking well; you don't want any lumps to form. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 10 - 30 minutes. The liquid will thicken and look like heavy cream when ready.
