Brun Saus

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add the flour and mix well until the mixture is thick and lump-free, then brown, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the milk and stock, stirring well with a whisk. Return the pan to the heat and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring well again. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Brun Saus goes well with meat dishes, such as kjøttkaker (meat pie).
