Notes
- This recipe can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free flour for the roux. Or, skip the roux and replace it with a slurry of 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon water, mixed together until smooth.
- This gravy is delicious on its own, but I also love adding sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and herbs. These additions will really spruce up a gravy made from only broth.
- Be sure to whisk the roux often and not overcook it- if the flour darkens, it won't thicken the gravy as much.
