How to Make Basic Formula For Gravy
- Measure 2 tablespoons of fat (from pan drippings, butter, oil, or Crisco) into your pan (ideally the one used to cook the meat). Heat over medium heat.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
- Cook, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture starts to turn a light golden brown (roux).
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of hot liquid (water, broth, milk, or pan drippings). Whisk continuously to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking frequently, until the gravy reaches your desired thickness (about 2-5 minutes).
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add a teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master for a deeper color and richer flavor (optional).
- Serve immediately over your favorite dish!
