Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: 1/4 cup
- All-Purpose Flour: 1/4 cup
Flavor Enhancers
- Chicken Broth: 2 cups
- Heavy Cream: 1/2 cup
- Black Pepper: to taste
- Garlic Powder: to taste
- Onion Powder: to taste
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it’s foamy but not browned.
- Whisk in the Flour: Gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth paste (roux) and has a light golden color.
- Add the Broth: Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the Cream: Add the heavy cream to the gravy and mix well until fully combined. This will give your gravy its rich and creamy texture.
- Season: Add black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. Adjust the seasoning as desired to suit your flavor preferences.
Notes
- Don’t Rush the Roux: Allow the flour to cook long enough to remove the raw taste, but avoid browning it.
- Whisk Constantly: Continuous whisking while adding the broth prevents lumps and ensures a smooth gravy.
- Taste as You Go: Adjust seasoning during the cooking process to ensure the flavors are just right.
- Use Quality Broth: A good-quality broth will significantly enhance the flavor of your gravy.
- Keep It Warm: If serving later, keep the gravy warm on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
