How To Make Homemade Veloute Recipe 🤯

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

chicken stock

🥗Healthier: vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable stock is lighter and often more accessible.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter completely in a pan.

Slowly whisk in 4 tablespoons of flour until you achieve a wet sand consistency.

Cook the flour and butter mixture for about 5 minutes without adding color.

Remove the pan from heat and let the roux cool slightly.

Slowly whisk in the homemade chicken stock a little bit at a time to avoid clumps.

Scrape the edges of the pan well to incorporate all the flour.

Turn the heat back on and bring the mixture to a low simmer.

Cook for about 30 minutes on low heat to cook out the flour taste.

Add salt and pepper to taste, preferably using white pepper if available.

Whisk constantly for the first 5 minutes to prevent the flour from settling and burning.
