"Thus the ingredients of a velouté are butter and flour to form the roux," While this is true in the original meaning, now days roux based sauces are non existent. The use of flour to thicken sauce has been substituted for reduction of stock, butter addition and a generally reduced sauce.

Not a velouté, then. --Wetman 12:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Not true many sauces are still thickened with flour Trewornan 21:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction with Suprême sauce

The first line of Suprême sauce states that it is derived from Béchamel sauce, whereas this article claims that it is derived from velouté. Since I am unfamiliar with the world of French gastronomy, I request that someone else correct this problem. Lockesdonkey 18:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Supreme sauce is properly made from veloute but you can also make it by adding stock to Bechamel, in effect both are true. Trewornan 02:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Velouté is a mother sauce and Sauce Suprême is a daughter sauce. 71.103.86.191 12:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
