BASIC GRAVY

makes about 2 cups gravy

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Make a roux of the flour and butter by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add the flour and whisk together. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then pour broth in while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add more broth or water if gravy is too thick and add salt and pepper to taste.
