Ingredients

Cup
Vegetable Oil

Cup
All Purpose Flour
Instructions
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.
