Butter Home Made

Melt butter use medium heat, add an equal amount of flour, mix and cook to make roux.  Once you have the white paste, don’t cook more than a couple of minutes, because it needs to stay white, here’s the kicker though, the mixture needs to be cooked, or it will taste pasty. Add 1-2 tablespoons of home-made bone broth.  Add room temperature whole milk, a little at a time until the consistency is a creamy sauce. Keep whisking, off and on until it bubbles as shown. Blend in spices.  Remove from heat and cover, if it has to sit before adding, top with a thin layer of milk, re-heat and blend before adding.
