2–3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the roux: Melt the butter over medium heat and sprinkle in the all-purpose flour. Create a light golden roux, which you should carefully pour in with the hot stock while stirring constantly.
Cooking the base: Whisk well so no lumps form, and let simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from burning.
Seasoning: After 20 minutes add the cream, vinegar, sugar and salt. Taste everything and adjust the flavor to your preference. Briefly bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.
Adding the dill: Finally stir in the chopped fresh dill. It is not cooked further so it retains its freshness and flavor.

Serving: Serve the dill sauce with a fluffy yeasted dumpling and, to taste, complement it with boiled beef or a boiled egg.
