Simple Lemon Sauce

Cuisine Greek

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups of vegetable or chicken broth or liquid from the dolmathes pot, if you made some
2 lemons juiced (if you are using the liquid from dolmathes then you don’t need the extra lemon, unless you want it extra extra lemony)
Salt & pepper to taste

Melt butter in medium pot over low heat.
Once butter is melted, add in flour and mix with a whisk to incorporate. Cook for 1-2 minutes as you stir.
Slowly add 2 cups of liquid, whisking well as you go. You do not want lumps to form in your sauce. If you get lumps then keep whisking until they are gone.
Once you have incorporated the liquid, add the lemon juice, if you didn’t use liquid from the dolmathes (or if you did use the liquid from the dolmathes you can still add extra lemon if want a more lemony flavor), and stir well.
Let simmer for a few minutes, add salt and pepper, to taste, and enjoy!
