Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
Instructions:
1. Make a Roux:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and stir constantly for about 3-5 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown and smells nutty. This forms your roux.
2. Add Seasonings:
Stir in the onion powder, white pepper, and salt.
3. Add Liquids:
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and water, making sure there are no lumps.
Add the beef bouillon granules, and stir until fully dissolved.
4. Simmer & Thicken:
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
5. Taste & Adjust:
Taste and adjust salt or seasoning if needed.
If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it up.
