Simple Homemade Pork Roast Gravy From Pan Drippings Recipe
Simple, flavorful and delicious homemade pork roast gravy from the leftover pan drippings makes for an amazing sauce for just pennies compared to buying it in the store. This gravy is easy and fast, cooking in less than ten minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups pan drippings liquid If you don't have a full two cups, supplement with broth or use all boxed broth
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper add more or less to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt add more or less to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan melt three tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour to butter and let brown for one minute, stirring frequently. This creates what's called a roux.
- Add pan drippings and any extra broth to butter and flour mixture. Use a whisk to distribute the flour evenly within your liquid to avoid lumps.
- Add salt and pepper, tasting your gravy. Add more pepper or salt a little bit at a time to your own taste.
- Allow gravy to cook for three to four minutes. Pour into a bowl and enjoy with your dinner!
Notes
This recipe makes about a cup and a half of gravy, which equals a serving size of a quarter cup of gravy per person. Our family prefers just a little gravy on our meal. If your family prefers a heavier pour of gravy, I'd recommend doubling the recipe.
