2
Done
|
in a Large, Heavy Pot, Heat the Oil and Cook the Flour in the Oil Over Medium to High Heat (depending on Your Roux-Making Skill), Stirring Constantly, Until the Roux Reaches a Dark Reddish-Brown Color, Almost the Color of Coffee or Milk Chocolate For a Cajun-Style Roux. If You Want to Save Time, or Prefer a More New Orleans-Style Roux, Cook It to a Medium, Peanut-Butter Color, Over Lower Heat If You're Nervous About Burning It. |
