Once heated, whisk in flour combining with fat and continue to whisk allowing it not to burn but to brown. This should take about 5 minutes or so or until it turns golden brown.
Whisk in stock and allow it to continue to cook over medium heat to thicken for about 7-8 minutes. Constantly stir to avoid sticking.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
Whisking thoroughly while adding the flour into the fat is essential. Add in your liquid very slowly and continue to whisk until the roux is completely incorporated and not lumpy.
