How To Make A Roux Sauce For Mac And Cheese

Dec 06, 2007  Best Answer: equal amounts of butter and flour melt the butter under medium heat and add the flour and stir. Keep an eye on it or it will burn (or turn into a darker roux than you want for mac and cheese (you want a white/blond roux). After a few minutes.

It comes alive with the smoky bacon flavors and benefits from the zesty dill and buttermilk tang of the ranch seasoning. Making a roux for the bechamel cream sauce is simple and doesn’t take too long.

And very alternative I find is Magic DVD Copier.I have reviewed its DVD ripper from and I thought it did a great job to. The Magic DVD Ripper is also able to shrink an 8.5GB DVD to HDD to two 4.7GB DVD folder or compress it to one DVD5, but you will need another program to burn for you.

How To Make A Rue For Macaroni And Cheese

  1. I prefer to use whole milk - I've used lower fat milks in the past and it just tastes a little flat. You can even do one cup of milk and one of cream if you're feeling crazy!
  2. This recipe is easily doubled, but I've found that when I double it I don't increase the flour/butter. 4 tablespoons of each still make enough roux to thicken additional milk/cream. :) The additional butter also made it greasy.
  3. Use a high quality cheese - cheese that comes shredded and covered in cornstarch is bad. Velveeta is bad. Blocks of Kraft cheese is acceptable. The more processed the cheese is, the greasier it will get.
  4. Sharp cheese is better! The flavor will be slightly diluted in the roux/milk mix.
  5. You probably won't use the whole pound of pasta, but it's good to cook the whole thing so you get the right sauce/pasta ratio.
  6. You can change up the seasonings as you like! I've just included what I use in mine.
