Baked Roux - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups flour
3 cups vegetable oil

Preparation

Mix the flour and oil in an iron skillet or heavy oven proof container.
I use a cast iron dutch oven.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, STIRRING EVERY 15 MINUTES with a whisk.
The color determines the doneness.
Cool before storing.
You must stir every 15 minutes or it will burn.
In my oven 1 1/2 hours is perfect.
After removing from the oven, stir again and stir every few minutes until it cools and quits browning.
