Make the perfect easy gravy every time in just 5 minutes with or without pan drippings using these step by step directions. Pour it over potatoes or meat for your holiday meal or anytime!
Add butter or pan drippings to a large pan. Melt butter over medium heat.
While stirring, add flour a tablespoon at a time. Whisk as you add.
Slowly pour in the stock, a cup at a time to prevent lumps. Whisk or stir well.
Stir constantly over medium heat until gravy thickens and reaches desired thickness. Add additional broth if it gets too thick.
Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper and/or poultry seasoning if desired. I only use poultry seasoning if I used butter instead of pan drippings.

Notes
As you pour liquid into roux, add in a slow steady stream. This help prevent lumps.
For a little additional flavor in your gravy use onion powder or garlic powder.
You can also use a combination of beef and chicken broth for more flavor.
If gravy gets too thick add a little more water or broth to desired consistency.
