Instructions
0 To a large sauce pan, add the butter, and heat over medium-high heat to melt. 1 Sprinkle the flour the pan, whisk it into the butter, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and is lightly golden browned in color. Whisk nearly continuously. Tip - This is called making a roux and is necessary later on so that your gravy thickens properly. Do not shortchange this step or move on until you've properly made your roux but also be careful not to overcook it and burn the flour. 2 Slowly add the broth, whisking the entire time, and continue to whisk to remove any lumps. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until gravy begins to thicken. Whisk nearly continuously. 3 Add the remaining seasonings, salt, pepper, and continue to whisk over medium heat until the gravy is thickened to your liking, about 6-9 minutes, but it will vary based on your pan size, heat output level of your stove, how thick you like your gravy, and so forth. Whisk/simmer until it's where you like your gravy to be. 4 Taste, adjust the seasoning balance as needed (if you used reduced sodium broth, you may want to add additional salt), and serve warm.View original recipe
