  5. ThickeningAgents • The sauce should be thick enough to cling to the food • Do not want it runny in most cases • Should not be heavy or pasty

  6. Thickening Agents • Roux is a mixture of equal parts flour (starch) and fat (usually butter). • They are stirred constantly over heat to form either a white, blonde, or brown roux.

  7. How Starches Work • Starches thicken by gelatinization • The starch granules absorb liquid and swell to many times there original size • Granules must be separated or lumps will form (outer granules will gelatinize trapping inner granules in a lump) • Two ways • mixing the starch with a fat • Dissolving in a cold liquid

  8. Other Flavorings • The base of flavor is the liquid • Adding specified flavors to leading sauces make small sauces

  9. Emulsification • Done with egg yolks • A uniform mixture of two unmixable liquids • In the case of hollandaise, eggs and butter • The two stay mixed and thick because the butter is beaten into tiny droplets and the egg yolks hold them apart

  10. Reduction • Slowly simmering away the liquid leaving a bold intense flavor

  11. Classification of Hot Sauces • The five mother sauces • Espagnole • Brown stock plus brown roux • Béchamel • Milk and white roux • Veloute • White stock plus white or blonde roux • Tomato • Tomato plus stock (roux may be optional) • Hollandaise • Butter plus eggs
