In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken stock until very hot, but not boiling.
In another medium saucepan (a heavy-bottomed pan works the best), melt the butter over moderate heat.
Add the all-purpose flour. While stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, the mixture (roux) should bubble and foam and the color should gradually darken. A light yellow to golden yellow color is desirable for a veloutÃ© sauce. It is important that the flour not burn, but it should be cooked thoroughly so that the resulting sauce will not attain a pasty, floury flavor.
After the roux has reached the correct doneness, remove the pan from the heat to allow the roux to cool slightly.
After the short cooling period, pour the chicken stock into the pan (chicken stock is used here for a chicken flavored veloutÃ© sauce).
Return the pan to moderate heat and whisk vigorously the liquid into the roux. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and continue stirring until the sauce becomes smooth.
When the sauce is ready to serve, stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
