Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter or other fat
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups broth or pan drippings
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons salted butter over medium-high heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined and no white specks remain. Let cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
- While whisking, slowly pour in 2 cups broth or pan drippings.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until thickened to desired consistency, about 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Notes
- You can use any kind of fat you'd like to when making a gravy in the same amount. Coconut oil, vegetable oil, olive oil, margarine, or bacon fat are all commonly used in addition to butter.
- For a gluten-free gravy, use 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in place of the all-purpose flour.
- Any kind of broth, stock, or other liquid can be used in the same ratio to make gravy. Use chicken broth, beef broth, turkey broth, or vegetable broth for a vegetarian gravy.
- When using pan drippings from roasting a turkey, chicken, or beef roast, strain the drippings through a fine mesh strainer to remove any gristle or fat before using to make gravy.
