  • Add the vegetable oil to the bottom of a heavy bottomed pot - like a Dutch Oven. Apply low-medium heat.
  • Add the flour and stir in until well combined, using a suitable spoon.
  • Stir, somewhat intermittently, until the roux has become a very dark brown in color, like dark Hershey Chocolate.
  • Continue with the steps from whatever recipe you are making.
