*Baked roux: Lots of Louisiana recipes start with "First you make a
roux. " The traditional roux is a mixture of about equal parts of oil
and flour browned to a certain point. A baked roux can substitute
nicely in some recipes. To bake a roux, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Put some (about 1/3 c.) of flour pie pan or cake pan which has been
sprayed with PAM. Bake at 400 degrees stirring frequently until roux
is caramel colored and just begins to have a burnt smell. Don't bake
it any longer! Store roux in refrigerator . When recipe calls for
roux add an equal measure of water to whatever amount of flour is called
for in the recipe.
