Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 150 grams butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the flour and salt to the melted butter.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, roast the flour by stirring constantly for about 7-8 minutes until its color changes slightly and it smells nutty.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl and pour them over the roasted flour mixture.
  5. Stir quickly until the eggs are fully cooked and integrated with the flour, then serve hot.

Be careful not to keep the heat too high while roasting the flour to prevent it from burning and turning bitter.
