This makes a lovely brown roux. It makes a lot, but it will freeze. I divide it up and always have a roux ready and waiting for gumbo or anything else. Freeze in small amounts. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
3 cups vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Mix the flour and oil in an iron skillet or heavy oven proof container.
2. I use a cast iron dutch oven.
3. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, STIRRING EVERY 15 MINUTES with a whisk.
4. The color determines the doneness.
5. Cool before storing.
6. You must stir every 15 minutes or it will burn.
7. In my oven 1 1/2 hours is perfect.
8. After removing from the oven, stir again and stir every few minutes until it cools and quits browning.
