Put 1 to 3 cups flour into heavy skillet and place over moderate heat. The  
amount of flour depends only on size of skillet and size of storage  
container you will use.  
Stir the flour around often with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Pay attention  
to the cooking because the flour will take a few minutes [5 or so] to begin  
coloring. Stir constantly to keep the flour in the bottom of the skillet  
moving so that it does not burn. Continue until all the flour is desired  
color, probably about like a light peanut butter color. The entire process  
takes 15 to 20 minutes to get enough rich dry roux to use for many dishes.  
Most dishes will call for several tablespoons full. Later -- when the dry  
roux is mixed with liquid, it will take on a darker color.
