Directions:
- Melt Butter in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium to medium high heat.
- Slowly sprinkle in the flour a little at a time, stirring constantly.
- Continue to stir constantly.
- Do not walk away!
- If you burn it even the tiniest bit, it is unusable.
- You will notice the flour beginning to brown.
- The darker the flour, the darker the gravy.
- For gumbo, when the roux reaches a deep dark chocolate brown color it is done.
- At that point you would add your seasonings, such as onion, garlic, bell pepper and celery.
- You can make this ahead of time and keep tightly covered in the frige or freezer.
