In a pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it moves lightly across the skillet surface.

Using a clean pan, fry the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the pieces and set them on a plate with paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Add butter to the bacon fat and let it melt completely. Mix in the flour, stirring constantly, and let it cook for a minute.
