MAKE A ROUX

This is an important ingredient for making alot of Cajun dishes.

1 cup flour (always use all-purpose)
1 cup cooking oil

Start cooking on high fire; lower fire when mixture begins to brown, stirring constantly. Brown until Roux becomes the color of a penny. Add warm water to make gravy.

Note: (Start with a small amount of Roux to avoid making gravy too thick and greasy. Any Roux left over may be saved in refrigerator for future use).
