Ingredients
Scale
Buttery Roux:

Liquid & Seasonings:
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ cup whole milk or cream
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Melt Butter & Form Roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Whisk in Broth & Milk: Gradually whisk in the broth until smooth. Add the milk or cream and continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 4–6 minutes.
