Easy Homemade Gravy (Beginner-Friendly)
Gravy is just fat + flour + liquid. Once you know that, it gets way less scary and you will become a pro at making homemade gravy.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter (or pan drippings)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1–1½ cups broth (chicken, beef, or turkey)
- Salt & pepper to taste
How to Make It:
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes
- Slowly pour in the broth while whisking
- Keep whisking until thickened (about 2–4 minutes)
- Season with salt & pepper
If it gets too thick → add more broth and if it’s too thin → let it simmer a little longer
Common Gravy Mistakes (and fixes)
- Lumpy gravy: keep whisking while adding liquid slowly
- Too thick: add broth a splash at a time
- Too thin: simmer longer — it thickens as it cooks
✨ Beginner Tip:
Gravy thickens more as it cools. If it looks slightly thin in the pan, it’s probably perfect.
Let me know if you've ever tried making gravy this way before and how it turned out?
