Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foaming, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk in flour until no lumps remain and the mixture turns light tan, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
