Description
This Quick and Easy Gravy is velvety smooth and full of flavor, and there's no drippings needed. All it takes is 5 simple ingredients and less than 10 minutes to make!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups stock or broth (chicken, turkey, beef, or any flavor you like)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small to medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- When the butter is completely melted, add the flour and whisk to combine until smooth. Cook for one minute, whisking constantly.
- While whisking, slowly add the broth or stock. Whisk until smooth.
- Increase heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 1 to 2 minutes).
- Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a flavorful broth or stock—homemade, canned, boxed, or from bouillon—for the best taste. Use low-sodium versions if you're watching salt. If your gravy is lumpy, strain through a fine mesh. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently and whisk to restore smoothness. Gravy thickens as it cools, so keep it warm until serving.
