   Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook flour over medium-low heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large plate to let cool. Wipe skillet clean and return it to the stove. Add butter and cook over medium heat, without stirring, until fragrance is nutty and solids are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside to let cool.
