Roux

Directions

1. 1
   ["Melt lard in large kettle over fairly high heat.", "Blend in flour and lower heat and keep stirring and working the roux about 1/2 hour.", "It will mellow and brown slowly, so raise and lower heat as needed.", "Keep eye on roux but don't have to stir non-stop. Roux will mellow as honey color to butterscotch to rich rust brown and have a \"halo\"" sheen.""]"
