Make A Roux

Many Cajun dishes are made with a Roux. This is a basic recipe. You can make a larger amount and store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup flour

Directions

Mix shortening and flour in skillet. Stir mixture over medium heat, and brown until it's the color of brown shoes. (Be careful not to let it burn). If small black flakes start to show, throw it out and try again.
