I posted a short video showing how I brown flour.
This isn’t about doing things the “fancy” way or adding unnecessary steps. Browning flour changes flavor in a very specific way — nuttier, deeper, more rounded — and when you understand why it works, you can decide when it’s worth using and when it isn’t.
This comes up more often than people realize in:
- Roux-based sauces and gravies
- Comfort-food menus
- Dishes where you want depth without adding more ingredients
