Buy it. yup that is right I said buy it. but you have to buy the stuff in the glass jar. not some nasty powder. it is pretty good.
Now If you are going to make it yourself, you have 2 options
fast.
top of the stove. but be extremely careful because you will burn the stufff really fast. it takes 20 to 25 minutes and you have to stir 100% of the time. NO BREAKS
long (prefered)
oven. just keep it wet.
what ever way, start with a one to one ratio. oil and flour. use a good oil like Peanut, canola, corn, veggie.
you want it to be runny. once it is cooked let it set and a lot of the oil will rise to the surface and you can drain.
