Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons good-quality light honey
Directions
  1. Melt the butter in an 8-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat. When it bubbles, add the flour and salt and stir constantly until the flour begins to brown. Be careful not to let it burn — there will be little color change for the first minute or so, and then the flour will go dark rather quickly.
  2. When the flour-butter mixture is the color of medium-dark toast, turn the heat to low and add the eggs. Stir and turn the eggs until cooked to the desired doneness. Serve immediately, drizzled with the honey if desired.
