I guess everybody does things differently... I can't imagine stirring ia roux, inside of a 350° oven... If that's what works well for you... I was taught to make it in the cast iron "Dutch Oven" on top of the fire/ bacon grease are flour to start with... stir, stir, STIR, then add seasonings and little by little, adding very small amounts of cold water, until you're at the desired consistency.
Spell check got me... "are" should = "and"... This was Capt. John Landry of Pierre Part, Louisiana's method of "making a roux".
