Comment préparer Traditional Gravy

**Collect Drippings:** After roasting your meat, carefully pour the juices and fat from the roasting pan into a heatproof glass measuring jug. Let it stand for a few minutes to allow the fat to separate.
**Skim the Fat:** Carefully skim off and discard the excess fat from the surface of the drippings using a spoon. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of fat if desired for richer gravy.
**Make the Roux:** Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the reserved fat (or 2 tablespoons of butter if using no drippings). Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and lightly browned (a roux).
**Add the Liquid:** Gradually whisk in the reserved meat juices, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk while slowly adding the stock until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
**Enhance the Flavor (Optional):** Stir in the white wine (or red wine for a bolder taste) for added depth of flavor.
**Deglaze the Pan:** Using a wooden spoon, vigorously scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to incorporate any browned bits stuck to the surface – this adds amazing flavor!
**Simmer and Season:** Bring the gravy to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
**Serve:** Pour your delicious homemade gravy over your favorite roast, mashed potatoes or vegetables. Enjoy!
