1/2 c  All Purpose Flour
1/2 c  Cooking Oil

1. In a heavy skillet or 2 quart saucepan, stir together flour and cooking
oil until smooth. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes then reduce heat
to medium. Cook and stir about 10 minutes more until a reddish brown roux
is formed. DARKER ROUX: 1. If you want a dark roux, prepare the roux as
directed above, except cook and stir over medium heat about 15 minutes
instead of 10 minutes or until a dark, reddish brown roux is formed.
