Simple Velouté Sauce instructions

1. Put your stock in a saucepan and gently warm it up, while this is warming, start your roux..
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add your flour and stir it in to form a roux (a roux is a paste made from butter and flour)..
3. Start adding your warmed stock to the roux and stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Use a balloon whisk if you have one, or a wooden spatula if not. Keep adding all of your stock until you have a thin, smooth sauce. Now simmer the sauce gently (hot enough for small bubbles to come to the surface of the sauce, but not hot enough to boil it), for 30 minutes..
4. Now season to taste with salt and white pepper. If the sauce seems lumpy you can sieve or strain it to make it smoother. The velouté is now ready to use either as it is, or you could add, for example, mushrooms and serve it with roasted meats..
