QUICK AND EASY GRAVY FROM SCRATCH
Homemade gravy is quick and easy. If you've roasted chicken, turkey or beef, use the drippings left in the roasting pan. They make the gravy extra flavorful and seasoned. You can make gravy without drippings and use stock or broth in it's place. Store-bought stock is usually under seasoned. Take care when seasoning with salt and pepper towards the end of the recipe. Finally, for more flavor, whisk in mushroom powder. This is optional, but adds a deep savory flavor.

Steps:
- In a wide skillet with sides, melt butter over medium heat. When melted and sizzling, whisk in the flour. Whisk until the flour and butter turn into a smooth paste and look medium blonde in color; about 1 minute. It smells toasty, like browned butter.
- Pour in stock and whisk until smooth. Bring the gravy to a low simmer. As it simmers, it thickens and becomes glossy.
- Whisk in the herbs and mushroom powder then cook at a low simmer for a minute or two. Remove from the heat then stir in half and half or cream (optional).
- Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and black pepper (we like a generous amount of pepper).
- Substitute some or all the butter with fat left in the pan from roasting. If there are juices left in the pan, strain them then swap all or some of the stock for the pan juices. Pan drippings and juices will be well seasoned compared to the stock. When seasoning, taste the gravy first then adjust with more salt and/or pepper. If you used a stove-top safe pan such as a Dutch oven or stainless steel pan for roasting, there is no need for the skillet. Make the gravy directly in the roasting pan.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the gravy will be. Start with a flavorful broth or stock, and add fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables.
- Brown the meat or vegetables before making the gravy: This will add a rich, caramelized flavor to the gravy.
- Use a roux or cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy: A roux is a mixture of equal parts butter and flour, while a cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water. Either one will help to thicken the gravy and give it a smooth consistency.
- Season the gravy to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or vinegar for a little extra flavor.
- Let the gravy simmer for a while: This will help to develop the flavors and thicken the gravy.
- Serve the gravy hot: Gravy is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if necessary.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can make a delicious gravy for any type of meat or poultry. Whether you're serving it over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice, gravy is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your meal. So next time you're cooking a roast, chicken, or turkey, be sure to make a gravy to go with it.
