Ingredients
- 1 chicken bouillon cube (or 2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, or 1 ¼ cups chicken broth)
- 1 beef bouillon cube (or 2 teaspoon beef bouillon powder, or 1 cup beef broth)
- 2 ¼ cups boiling water (if using chicken and beef broth do not add this water. This water measurement is for bouillon cubes or powder only.)
- 4 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
- 4 tablespoon flour (all purpose)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- salt (to taste)
Instructions
- This recipe can be made using chicken and beef broth, or bouillon cubes or powder dissolved in water. If using bouillon cubes or powder add them to a large bowl with 2 ¼ cups boiling water. Stir until dissolved. If using broth, skip this step.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the flour, onion powder and pepper. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes, or until the flour is golden in color.
- Once the flour is golden, slowly pour in half the broth. Stir continuously until evenly combined and pour in the remaining broth. The gravy will begin to thicken.
- Stir for 1 - 2 minutes until it thickens to a gravy consistency. Season to taste with additional salt or pepper as desired. Remove from the heat. Note: Don't let the gravy get too thick, it thickens more as it sits. If it gets too thick just stir in a splash of water.
- Serve and enjoy!
