Easy Gravy Recipe
This gravy from scratch is built on a simple roux ratio, so it is easy to fix if it gets too thick or thin. Soy sauce and lemon juice give it deeper flavor than most homemade gravy recipes, and you can make it with broth, drippings, or both.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or fatty drippings or a combination
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups broth or stock or non-fatty drippings or a combination (plus additional if needed to thin)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
Instructions
- In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat (if using fatty drippings, just add drippings to skillet). Add flour and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until mixture becomes light to medium golden brown, whisking constantly.
- While whisking, slowly add broth or non-fatty drippings until all liquid is incorporated. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until gravy is thickened.
- If gravy is too thick, whisk in a bit more broth or water. If gravy is too thin, cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until desired consistency is achieved.
- Reduce heat to low. Add lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
