How To Make roux-oven method

• Step 1
  PREHEAT OVEN TO 400. Use the proportion of 4 parts flour to 2 parts oil. 2c flour and 1c oil It takes roughly the same time to prepare a larger amount, so I prep a large amount and save it for another use later.
• 
  Step 2
  Mix flour and oil in a round ceramic casserole dish until it is smooth, and no lumps remain. Place on the middle rack in a preheated oven. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
• Step 3
  When timer goes off, stir the roux carefully, making sure to scrape along the sides and the bottom entirely. Reset timer for 30 minutes.
• Step 4
  When timer goes off(one hour now), stir the roux carefully, making sure to scrape along the sides and the bottom entirely. Color should be golden to peanut butter color. For a darker roux, continue cooking. Reset timer for 15 minutes.
• 
  Step 5
  When timer goes off, stir the roux carefully, making sure to scrape along the sides and the bottom entirely. Continue to reset timer for 5-15 minutes depending on the color you are trying to achieve. It will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the heat...and it darkens more quickly near the end, so take care to not let it burn!
