Baked Roux

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
oil, olive, salad or cooking

Directions:
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.
