That roux isn't done yet. I whisk it when I first put the flour and oil together to make sure of no lumps. Not everyone does, though.


I do the same.

So am I just not cooking it long enough? Too scared to burn it... Burned one a few years ago leaving me gun shy.

too much flour-to-oil. try going 60/40 oil to flour

and yes keep it cooking, you wont burn it as long as you stir.

p.s. a whisk works better

p.s.s. usually not a good idea to cook a roux in a stock pot or other type of thin pot

It's not dark enough for me. The worst that can happen is that you burn it and start over. I think you'll enjoy it more if you let it get darker. If you're worried, stick in the oven on 350 and let it go until it's much darker, stirring it to keep it even about every 10 minutes. It won't be on direct heat there. OR, turn the heat on the stove lower and keep going there. The lower, the longer, but the less chance of burning.

If you keep stirring, it really shouldn't burn. Just remove it from the heat and add the onions quickly and stir.
