Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Serving Size 1 .5 Cups

Ingredients

  • 2 TB Butter
  • 3 TB Flour
  • 1.5 Cups broth or drippings from meat of choice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt butter over medium heat until frothy.
  • Add the flour to the frothy butter to form a roux. 
  • Whisk to combine the flour and butter. Continue stirring frequently, scraping the sides often.
  • Begin to add in the broth very slowly, whisking as you do.
  • Continue to stir until all liquid is absorbed each time. 
  • Continue to whisk the gravy until warmed through. About another 2 minutes. 
  • Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • (optional) Add a pat of butter and mix until combined to add an extra smooth and rich finish. 

Notes

  • Be sure to cook the roux until golden brown to avoid having a raw flour flavor.
  • Add the liquid to the roux slowly, mixing in thoroughly between each addition to avoid clumps.
