This is a foolproof, simple gravy you can make in minutes and tastes delicious. While we used chicken stock in the picture above, you can use whatever kind of like: vegetable, beef, mushroom, etc. If you happened to have roasted a chicken or turkey, feel free to replace the butter with pan drippings. Other additions: dry white wine and fresh herbs!

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter or use pan drippings
2 Tbsp Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour (17 g)
1 cup Broth (240 mL)
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Onion Powder
¼ tsp dried Thyme
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it bubbles. Sprinkle flour over and whisk until smooth.
Cook, whisking constantly, for 2–3 minutes, then pour in broth while continuing to whisk. Add seasonings.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat and whisk while the mixture starts to thicken to the point where it will coat the back of a spoon. This will take between 5–10 minutes. Serve warm.
