Ingredients
  • 2 Sticks Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Celery, chopped
  • 1 cup Onion, chopped

  4. 4
    In a separate small pan, melt the remaining one stick of butter (8 tablespoons) over low heat.
  5. 5
    Stir in the all-purpose flour to create a roux, cooking for at least 2 minutes while stirring constantly to eliminate the raw flour taste.

  10. 10
