Foolproof Gravy
If you can master this simple technique, the options are endless when it comes to tailor-making gravy with a personalized touch for Thanksgiving supper {or anything that requires gravy–can that be everything, please?} I love playing around with this depending on what mood strikes. This can range from anything from thyme to cognac {my personal favorite additions}.
Foolproof Gravy
Cook time
Total time
Author: The Squishy Monster
Serves: 1 c gravy
Ingredients
- ½ c unsalted butter {or your fat of choice}
- ¼ c unbleached flour
- 1½ c low sodium stock warm or at room temperature
- S + P
Instructions
- Melt and brown the butter. Do this by setting your pan low and slow and keeping your eye on it. It can go from browned and aromatic to burned and bitter very quickly.
- Vigorously whisk in the flour a bit at a time all while simultaneously whisking.
- After a few minutes, slowly pour in the stock.
- Heat and stir until nicely thickened.
- Adjust seasonings as you go.
What’s your favorite addition to gravy?

mmmmm browned butter in gravy! so amazing!
I am with you, cognac is my favorite addition to gravy I like gin too.
It’s so strange thinking that it is freezing cold in your neck of the woods now, the drastic change in foods I am seeing in the blogasphere is crazy. Although, gravy is a bit of year round constant in my household. I will wow the family at our next dinner with real gravy. Thanks lovely.
Nothing beats a good gravy, Angela…You were such a tease pouring that gravy over those enticing potatoes. I wanted to dive in!!!
Have a GREAT time. Looking forward to those new pics and videos:)
ohh yeah garlic smashed taters! “..and next time don’t forget the gravy!”..from a tom&jerry epsiode. haha
Cognac!? Never thought to add a little liquor but pretty sure that’s some genius right there. Happy to start diving into Thanksgiving recipes like this one (but come one, gravy all year is great)
Great video Angela and gravy is one of those things that is so important that you just don’t want to mess up at all!
Oh my goodness, I love that you made gravy with brown butter. That sounds amazing! I am a sucker for gravy and would be tempted to pour this on everything!
I’m a gravy fiend. I love it on everything and yours would be no different.
Aww I love this gravy recipe Angela. You have outdone yourself
What a perfect recipe I love black peppercorn gravy with French fries
