Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces butter
  • 2 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • salt and ground white pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, heat butter until foaming. Whisk in flour until smooth.
  • Gradually add chicken broth and whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half (about 20 minutes). Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
