Before I waste a lot of time and flour trying, can anyone tell me whether
Bette H's flour mix can be used to make a roux? Can anyone suggest a
flour or flour mix they have successfully used to make a roux?

Can anyone recommend a brand and source of a cracker that is similar
to a saltine?

Thanks.  You all are a Godsend.
