The verb "singer" (sendjay) = saupoudrer de farine (to strew over with flour) and is used when thickening the sauce.

Singer also means : to imitate.

surley uncooked flour and butter is beurre manier,added to thicken after main cooking is done,flour & water=chinese roux/cowboy roux,and aint life too short to worry about what you call bunging a bit more flour in,I'm with Jonesy's french bloke.
