Ingredients
Scale
- 60 g / 4 tbsp Butter
- 30 g / ¼ cup All-purpose flour
- 500 ml / 2 cups Hot chicken broth
- ½ tsp Onion powder
- ¼ tsp Garlic powder
- a pinch Thyme
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the broth in a saucepan or microwave until steaming. Keeping it hot helps prevent lumps.
- Melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. This deepens the flavor and ensures a smooth texture.
- Pour in about ½ cup at a time, whisking constantly. The mixture may look clumpy at first, this is normal. Keep whisking, and it will smooth out.
- Once all the broth is incorporated, simmer for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens and becomes silky.
- Add salt, pepper, thyme, or extra broth to reach your desired taste and consistency.
- Serve immediately or keep warm until plating. The gravy will thicken slightly as it cools.
