1 quart half and half
2 ounces flour
2 ounces clarified butter
salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
In a saucepan, combine the flour and butter. Cook over a low flame for about 15 minutes until the mixture begins to bubble. Stir frequently so the roux does not color. Gradually add the half-and-half, stirring out the lumps as it thickens. After the entire amount of half-and-half has been added, cook for 45 minutes over a low flame, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture from sticking to the saucepan. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Cool in an ice bath.
