You don't. You can cook the roux for up to 40 minutes, depending on what kind of roux you want. The roux ranges from white, to gold, to brick-red. At the very least, it will take about 3 minutes to fully cook out the flour taste, and that's assuming that you want a white roux. Hope this helps!

How is roux combined with a liquid to form a sauce?

Roux is made by combining equal parts of butter and flour, and cooking it. The butter should be melted in a skillet, and then the flour stirred in. You should constantly stir, so it doesn't stick and start to scorch. Depending on the type of soup, you cook the Roux different lengths of time. For instance, if it is a lighter color soup, you will want a Blonde Roux, which means you cook it over the heat until is is blended well, but not brown. A Medium Roux would be for a medium-colored soup, and is cooked in the skillet until a light brown color is achieved. For a Dark Roux, you will cook it until it is pretty dark--but not burned. They key to adding Roux to a soup is, if the soup is COLD, the Roux should be HOT when whisked in. If the soup is HOT, then the Roux should be added COLD (after cooking the Roux, place in the refrigerator until completely chilled). If you add HOT Roux to a HOT soup, it will NOT thicken it, and vice versa. If you are wanting to add it to the actual soup base, before other ingredients are added, you will get your soup stock hot, then whisk in the cold Roux, then add your other ingredients. Not only will the Roux thicken the dish, but it will also add a lot of flavor.

Why is roux a sauce used for thickening?

Actually, a roux is not a sauce, but is the base for several different sauces and is used as a thickener in many dishes. A roux is made by combining equal parts of fat and starch (usually butter or lard and flour) and cooking it in a pan until the flour taste has been cooked out. The color of a roux depends upon the amount of time you cook it - and the darker the roux, the more flavor it imparts to the dish you are using it in. By adding milk to a roux you are making a bechamel sauce which is used in many lasagna recipes and other dishes. Bechamel sauce is also the base sauce for several other culinary sauces: Mornay sauce (cheese sauce), Mustard sauce, and Sauce Soubise (contains finely chopped onions that are sweated in butter before adding to the sauce) are a few of these.
