A friend recently had this happen and a chef friend of his said it was a result of having old flour. How old is the flour you used??

Hmm, that may actually be a good theory. I'm not sure how old the flour was since I don't use flour that often.

I heard John Folse warn against using old flour. Something about how it takes on moisture after being opened and sitting around, which can make it poor for roux.

No idea if there is science behind it, but for the low price of flour I never take a chance if I go to the trouble to make scratch roux.
