Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it contains xanthan gum for best results)

Instructions:

  1. Place the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and allow to melt without browning.
  2. Gradually sprinkle in the gluten-free flour, whisking constantly to combine.
  3. Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the roux reaches a light golden color.
  4. Once ready, gradually whisk in your liquid to avoid lumps and achieve the desired consistency.
