Description
This homemade gravy is perfect for pouring over mashed potatoes, roast meats, or biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- 1/4 cup diced yellow or white onion
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (*see Note about substituting cornstarch)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1 cup broth or stock, any flavor
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Once hot, add the onion and a big pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and salt and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in the broth/stock and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk. Taste and adjust for salt. Serve while hot. Gravy will thicken as it cools, so you may need to reheat and thin it out with more broth until smooth and pourable again. Leftover gravy can be stored for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, you can substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch.
