Oven method (my preferred method of making a roux)

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Use the same measures of flour and oil in a heavy skillet and cook in the oven, stirring after 30 minutes and then every 15 minutes until it reaches the level of brown you desire.

Just tried this out and it worked great! Only had the oven on 350 to make sure I didn't burn the roux. Hell of a lot better than standing over a pan and stirring!
