7 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and onions over medium-low heat until onions are translucent.

Add the flour and stir until smooth.

5
Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat and run through a sieve.

Season with salt and nutmeg.

Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
