Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. cooking oil light, high temperature, low smoke point
  • 1 lb. flour all purpose

Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan heavy bottomed, oven safe
  • 1 wire whip
  • 1 wooden spoon optional, helps to stir the hot roux without getting too hot.

Method
 

  1. Heat an oven to 375F.
  2. Heat a heavy bottom, oven safe saucepan over medium high heat for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the oil to the pan and heat until a pinch of the flour foams and sizzles on the surface, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the flour to the oil while stirring rapidly with a wire whisk to fully incorporate the flour into a paste.
  5. Place the saucepan into the oven.
  6. Every 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and stir it very briefly and return it to the oven until the color desired is achieved, for a maximum of 4 hours, (see post).
