Method
  1. Pour milk into a small saucepan, add in flour and stir till flour is well dissolved.

Hi Peng, for the water roux,after being cool down, do u need to fridge it overnite or it can be used immediately? And roughly how heavy is the water roux dough? good enough to make 1 recipe (70g)?? Thanks

Peng said...

Anonymous..no need chill, after cooling down can use immediately. This portion total wgt is abt 100gm after cooking, cos some mixture stick to the cling wrap and the pot. Just nice for 1 recipe as I indicated, balance water roux u can keep in fridge for 3-5 days but I just discard it :P
