I learned how to make this watching my aunt cook breakfast one morning. My mom always uses the kind out of a packet but this seems to taste better and is easy to make when you are out of the mix.

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups broth (see note)
3/4 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • NOTE: Use beef, chicken, or turkey, and broth can be mixed with pan drippings.
  • Heat broth.
  • In a medium skillet melt butter with peanut oil, add flour, and slowly brown to a dark golden brown (you need to keep an eye on this as it may brown too quickly).
  • Slowly add broth, stirring constantly with a whisk.
  • Add spices, cook slowly, stirring often, for 20 minutes.
  • The cooking time is very important. Flour will have a bitter taste if not completely cooked. This is worth the time.
  • If gravy is too thick, it can be thinned with broth to desired consistency.
