292: Roux Microwave; Source: https://www.deepsouthdish.com/2010/03/10-minute-microwave-general-purpose.html
| oil, vegetable | 3/4 | cup | | flour | 1 | cup | |
Directions:
Combine 3/4 cup of canola or vegetable oil with 1 cup of all purpose flour in a large, 4 cup Pyrex microwavable measuring dish. This will get extremely hot and I can only recommend a Pyrex brand 4 cup or larger measure that can hold up to the heat for this.
Whisk together until smooth. Mixture will look sort of like a thin condensed milk.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes; remove and stir. Microwave another 3 to 4 minutes, stopping and stirring several times in between, continuing until it reaches a caramel color. Total time will actually be dependent on your microwave, but generally it takes about 10 minutes to get to this point. At this step you can set the roux aside to cool and then transfer it to a glass Mason jar and store it in the refrigerator.
