This is so easy! It is perfect to take a tblsp. or two, add butter or bacon grease for a rue<br/>or beautiful light colored cream gravy or better yet, no waiting to brown flour to make red eye gravy.<br/>I put in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

I prepare my roasted flour in this way.<br/>It's very useful not only for sauces, but also for soups as an onion soup when I'm in a hurry.<br/>Thanks for making this public.
