Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
1 mins

Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and let melt. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting.

03

Step
20 mins

Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until flour has turned golden and begins to smell like toast, about 20 minutes.

04

Step
2 mins

Whisk in water and both bouillons until no lumps remain. Stir in pepper and bring mixture to a boil.

05

Step
9 mins

Cook and stir until thickened to gravy consistency, 8 to 10 minutes.

For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken or beef stock in place of water and bouillon.
Don't rush the toasting of the flour; this step is key to developing the gravy's signature color and flavor.
Adjust the amount of pepper to your liking. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a subtle kick.
If the gravy becomes too thick, whisk in a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
