Method
Preparation
- 1
Melt the Butter
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is fully melted and starting to foam.
- 2
Make the Roux
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter. Whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden brown, forming a roux. This helps to thicken the gravy.
