3 tablespoons butter Can be replaced with plant-based butter for a vegan option.
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
2 cups chicken broth Vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian option.
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chicken drippings Optional, for added flavor.

Gather all your ingredients: butter, flour, chicken broth, black pepper, salt, and any drippings if using.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Whisk in the flour once the butter is melted to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Stir in the black pepper and salt.
Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If using drippings, stir them in now for extra flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Once thickened to your liking, serve the gravy over your favorite dishes.

Allow cooked gravy to cool before storing. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days and frozen for up to 3 months.
