Old Fashioned Flour Gravy

Directions

1. 1
   NOTE: Use beef, chicken, or turkey, and broth can be mixed with pan drippings.
2. 2
   Heat broth.
3. 3
   In a medium skillet melt butter with peanut oil, add flour, and slowly brown to a dark golden brown (you need to keep an eye on this as it may brown too quickly).
4. 4
   Slowly add broth, stirring constantly with a whisk.
5. 5
   Add spices, cook slowly, stirring often, for 20 minutes.
6. 6
   The cooking time is very important. Flour will have a bitter taste if not completely cooked. This is worth the time.
7. 7
   If gravy is too thick, it can be thinned with broth to desired consistency.
