4 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

• Remove from heat. Add 2½ cups of the prepared chicken stock, mixing well with a whisk. Bring to a simmer while whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth.

Notes:

a) To ensure a smooth, silky consistency in your gravy, strain it if there are any lumps from the flour after adding the broth and whisking. Cook over low heat until it reaches the desired thickness, keeping in mind that it will thicken further as it cools.

b) Store any leftover gravy in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to thin the consistency, simply add more broth or water and heat through before serving.
