Mehlschwitze is a traditional thickening agent used in various European cuisines, particularly in German and French cooking. It’s made by cooking equal parts flour and fat, usually butter, until the mixture takes on a pale golden color. This roux forms the base for creamy sauces and soups, adding both richness and depth. While it enhances flavor, it's important to note that Mehlschwitze can be high in calories and carbohydrates. However, when used in moderation, it can be a delightful addition to dishes like gravies and stews, bringing warmth and heartiness to your table.
