Ingredients
- 125 g Butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Table salt
Method
Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over moderate heat. Add the flour and stir until it smells toasted.
Beat the eggs with the salt in a separate bowl. Add to the toasted flour and stir until evenly combined and thoroughly cooked; the egg mixture should reach 160°F.
Serve hot.
Cooking guidance
Toast the flour while stirring so it colors evenly. Beat the eggs separately, then mix them into the flour and cook them thoroughly before serving hot.
