Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until foamy but not browned.
2
Add the flour all at once and whisk constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the roux is pale ivory and smells faintly nutty — do not let it color.
