It seems that there is nothing easier than frying flour to make a sauce, but it wasn’t there.
It should be understood that the preparation of different sauces requires a different degree of roasting flour, and it is fried not only in a pan - you can just as well achieve the desired result in the oven.
Fried flour is the main ingredient that provides color and thickness to the sauce. It is also used for mashed soups, gravy and even halva.
How to fry flour
This is done exclusively in a dry and well-heated pan.
Chefs achieve cream color and nutty flavor.
You also need to choose only the highest-grade flour and be sure to sift it through a sieve.
If you have no time to stand at the stove, you can fry it in the oven.
How long to fry flour
The flour is fried for no more than 2-3 minutes with constant stirring. This way you can achieve a light golden hue, and use it well for gravy or cream soup.
If you fry the flour for 5 minutes, it will turn brown, and it can be used for thick sauces.
In rare cases, flour is fried in butter.
However, you first need to melt the butter, and then sift the flour into the pan, and then continue to fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, stirring constantly.
In this case, 1 tbsp. of butter is used per 100 grams of flour.
