Simple Homemade Pork Roast Gravy From Pan Drippings Recipe
Description
Simple Homemade Pork Roast Gravy From Pan Drippings Recipe is a straightforward gravy that starts with a roux made from melted butter and flour. The pan drippings from the pork roast, boosted if necessary with broth, create the liquid base. Whisking the flour and drippings together prevents lumps while the gravy simmers to thicken. The recipe calls for basic seasoning with salt and black pepper, allowing the savory meat flavors to shine without overpowering complexity. This gravy is a classic accompaniment to pork, adding moisture and a velvety texture that complements roast meat and side dishes.
The gravy is cooked over medium heat and needs only a few minutes to thicken once all ingredients are combined. The roux imparts a gentle, cooked flour flavor balancing the richness of the drippings. Adjusting seasoning to taste ensures it suits individual preferences.
This homemade gravy is best served warm poured over sliced pork roast, mashed potatoes, or vegetables, adding a comforting and hearty element to the meal.
The recipe yields about 1.5 cups, suitable for four servings with about a quarter cup each. For larger portions or heavier use, doubling the recipe is recommended. Using fresh pan drippings rather than pre-made sauces keeps the gravy natural and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups pan drippings If you don't have a full two cups, supplement with broth or use all boxed broth, liquid

- 1/4 teaspoon salt add more or less to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan melt three tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour to butter and let brown for one minute, stirring frequently. This creates what's called a roux.
- Add pan drippings and any extra broth to butter and flour mixture. Use a whisk to distribute the flour evenly within your liquid to avoid lumps.
- Add salt and pepper, tasting your gravy. Add more pepper or salt a little bit at a time to your own taste.
- Allow gravy to cook for three to four minutes. Pour into a bowl and enjoy with your dinner!
Notes
- The recipe makes about 1.5 cups of gravy, enough for four quarter-cup servings.
- Double the ingredients if a heavier pour of gravy is desired for your meal.
