1
In a saucepan, melt the butter.
2
Stir in the flour as the butter melts.
3
Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently with a whisk or spatula to keep any chunks from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
4
Cook to desired color (4-7 minutes). A nice foxy Brown is good. Remove from heat. You can make extra and store it in the freezer or go ahead and use it in a sauce right away.
