Easy Homemade Gravy Recipe

0 Add the butter or pan drippings from the beef, chicken, or turkey to a medium pot.
1 Melt butter over medium heat. Gently stir as you add the flour one tablespoon at a time and keep whisking to create a roux.
2 Slowly pour in the stock as you stir, one cup at a time to prevent lumps. The stock can come directly from the beef, chicken, or turkey drippings or store-bought ready stock will work. (If you don't have broth you can use water instead and use 1 bouillon cube. )
6 Drain the mushroom and add to the pot, add in the salt and pepper and seven spices are optional. 
4 Stir constantly over medium heat until gravy thickens well. You can add additional broth if it gets too thick and you want it looser.
