WHITE ROUX

Steps:

• Heat fat or over medium high heat. Add flour all at once whisking vigorously. When mixture thins and starts to bubble, reduce heat to low and cut back on the whisking. Cook until you smell a toasty aroma then cook 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
• Roux can be used immediately to thicken a liquid that is at or below room temperature. To thicken a hot liquid, allow roux to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate.
• Tightly wrapped, roux can be refrigerated for up to a month. Simply break off pieces and use as needed.

• Melt 50g butter in another saucepan, then add 50g plain flour. Stir continuously until a paste forms - this is called a roux. Continue cooking for 2 mins.
• Remove the onion, bay and cloves from the milk with a slotted spoon and discard. Add the infused milk to the roux gradually, stirring as you go, until you get a smooth sauce. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
