Tips:
- To make the gravy ahead of time, prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to use, reheat the gravy over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
- If you don't have any drippings, you can use butter or oil to make the gravy. Just melt 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter or oil is melted, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- To make a thicker gravy, add more flour to the roux. For a thinner gravy, add more liquid.
- Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
- Serve the gravy immediately over your favorite dishes, such as roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
