3/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
To make a roux, one must constantly stir the contents of the pan, scraping the bottom, edges, and sides of the pan as you go.

In a heavy skillet or saucepan, heat oil to very hot. Add the flour a little at a time, whisking or stirring it in as you go until all flour is added and mixture takes on a thick consistency. Continue to whisk or stir the mixture over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Reduce heat to medium-high. Never stop scraping the bottom, edges, and sides of the pan as you watch the flour turn into different colors of brown and stages of texture. If the mixture smokes a lot, reduce heat a little more, always scraping the bottom of the skillet or saucepan. When mixture reaches a chocolate brown color, remove from heat and continue to stir 5 minutes longer, assuring that the mixture cools enough not to burn even after you remove it from heat.
