How to Make Basic Fat Free Gravy
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until light golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let it burn.
- Meanwhile, prepare your meat drippings. Separate fat from drippings using a fat separator, or quickly chill in the freezer for 30-60 minutes and skim off the solidified fat.
- Measure 1/2 cup of the defatted drippings or broth. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the browned flour and the 1/2 cup of liquid.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.
- Pour the flour mixture into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining defatted drippings or broth (adjust amount to reach desired consistency).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- For a richer color, add a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet (optional).
- Serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
