Recipe Makes (Approximate): 6 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 1 pinch dried sage
  • salt (to taste, about 1 - 1 ½ teaspoons)

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in cold stock. Sprinkle in sage and whisk. Bring gravy to a boil. Reduce heat to low boil. Cook and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-10 minutes, whisking regularly.
  • Stir in heavy cream, and season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Recipe Notes

  • After you reduce the heat to a low boil, make sure you whisk regularly while the gravy is thickening, otherwise the bottom can burn.
  • Butter: You can sub an equal amount of drippings in place of the butter.
  • Storage: Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days, or in the freezer for about 3-4 months.
  • Make it Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free all-purpose flour or cassava flour 1:1 instead of traditional flour.
