Blonde Roux: (A thickening agent used to give the sauce more body. It should be added at the end after the butter has been bronzed)

  • 3 oz. Flour
  • 3 oz. Butter

      • On medium-low heat, cook butter until golden brown (This means to burn the butter or bronze it) and set aside. Bring chicken stock to a boil.

Be careful only to add the roux a little at a time as to not over thicken the sauce.
