Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pan drippings from a roast chicken or butter if you don’t have pan drippings
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth a little more for a thinner gravy
- 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional
Instructions
- Heat the pan drippings (or butter) in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook the roux for a minute or two to remove the raw taste of the flour. This is a critical step, so make sure you cook this for at least a full minute before adding the liquid.
- Add 1/3 of the broth and whisk it into the roux. The mixture will become very thick after a minute or two.
- Proceed to add the next third of the liquid and whisk to make sure all the lumps are removed. Once this has thickened fully, add the remaining liquid.
- If your gravy is too thick for your liking, you can add some additional liquid or finish with a tablespoon or two of heavy cream.
