Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Deciliter Measure
  • Pot
  • Hob
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 30 gram Butter
  • 16 gram Wheat Flour
  • 300 gram Pan Drippings from chicken
  • 103 gram Whole Milk
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Lemon Juice
  • Balsamic Vinegar or another vinegar
  • Gravy Color

Instructions

  • Start with a roux:
  • Melt butter in a pot. When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform - like a butter ball.
  • Then whisk about 3 dl. of the drippings into the roux, and then add whole milk until the right consistency is achieved.
  • Season the gravy with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. The goal is to cook the flour taste out of the sauce.
  • Adjust the color of the gravy with a bit of caramel coloring if it is too pale.
  • You can add a little cream shortly before serving the gravy if you want a slightly creamier consistency.
