*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.
