Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need
Steps to Make Quick and Easy Gravy
- Melt the unsalted butter in a small to medium pan over medium-low heat. (I recommend using a 2-quart saucepan or larger.) Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour.
- Whisk the butter and flour together to form a light roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for a minute to cook the flour.
- Add the chicken broth.
- Constantly whisk the broth into the roux until the mixture is smooth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and simmer, whisking constantly until the gravy has thickened, for about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not cook it too long; the gravy will become super thick and salty.
- Remove from the heat and add Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer to a gravy boat and serve immediately.
This Quick and Easy Gravy will make your meals rich and flavorful in no time. Once you’ve tried this simple homemade gravy, you’ll never go for the store-bought again. With a few pantry staples and a few minutes, you can whip up this tasty side in no time.
