Instructions
Step 1
If you need to make a white sauce, then the flour must be fried immediately in oil. If, according to the recipe, the dish needs to be served with red sauce, then the flour should first be fried in a dry frying pan.
Step 2
So, for the white sauce, you need to take a thick-walled dish and preheat the oil in it. You can use both butter and vegetable oil, the main thing is that it is as clear of impurities as possible. It is better to melt the butter beforehand.
Step 3
Then pour flour into hot oil and fry it, stirring continuously. If you stop stirring for a while, chances are that the flour will burn and the sauce will be hopelessly spoiled.
Step 4
For red sauce, flour is pre-fried in a dry hot skillet according to the same principle. The advantage of red sauce is that the preparation for it - fried flour - can be prepared for future use and stored in a tight-fitting container in a dry place. So, if possible, to save time, you can do so.
Step 5
Goulash and stew is also seasoned with toasted flour. In this case, the flour is fried like a white sauce - in a hot pan, and then added to the broth with meat. The secret to adding flour to the broth so that there are no lumps is as follows. You need to pour some broth into a glass and stir the flour directly in this glass to dissolve the resulting lumps. And then add a homogeneous mass to the goulash with meat. This will give the gravy a soft and smooth consistency.
