4 servings
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 tsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Can be omittedflat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat until fully melted and just beginning to foam, about 1 minute. Do not let it brown.

Add the flour all at once and stir immediately with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, working the mixture into a smooth paste. Continue stirring constantly for 2–3 minutes, until the roux smells faintly nutty and turns a pale straw color — it should pull away from the sides of the pan slightly and look dry on the surface.
