Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute until bubbly and pale golden.
Slowly whisk in the broth, a little at a time, until smooth.
Add the thyme, sage, onion powder and pepper. Simmer, whisking often, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cream if using, then taste and add salt as needed.
Tips
- Lumpy gravy? Whisk hard for 30 seconds, or pour it through a fine strainer.
- Rotisserie chicken juices from the container add great flavor. Stir them in with the broth.
- It keeps for 3 days in the fridge. Reheat over low heat with a splash of broth.
