Baked Roux image

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.

Time 1h2m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 cups flour
3 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 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.
