Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until it begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the maple syrup, heavy cream, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Simmer the gravy for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the gravy to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dish. Enjoy!
