Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart cold chicken stock
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • salt and ground white pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Gradually whisk in cold stock. Reduce heat to low. Bring gravy to a simmer, and cook and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, and season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne pepper.
