is that all you have to do to make roux? flour and oil? how does it get to a dark color? did I miss something?


you cook it over medium heat for 20 minutes to an hour (depending on how dark you want it) stirring constantly so it does not burn

if it takes an hour to get a dark roux your doing it wrong. i heat my oil to 350 and have a dark chocolate colored roux in about 20 minutes. with the high temp you dont have a lot of room for error as far as burning. just dont stop stirring.
