Comment préparer Basic Gravy

**Skim Excess Fat:** Remove excess fat from the pan juices, leaving about 2 tablespoons of flavorful rendered fat.
**Deglaze the Pan:** Place the pan over medium heat. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan using a wooden spoon or spatula for 1-2 minutes. This adds deep flavor to your gravy.
**Make a Roux:** Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the pan juices. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
**Gradually Whisk in Liquid:** Gradually whisk in 2 cups of hot liquid (chicken broth or beef broth, depending on the meat). Whisk continuously to prevent lumps.
**Bring to a Boil:** Return the pan to medium heat and bring the gravy to a boil, stirring constantly.
**Simmer and Season:** Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
**Serve & Enjoy:** Serve your delicious homemade gravy hot over your favorite meat or vegetables.
